Welcome to the club, Chevy. Community star Chevy Chase has joined Christian Bale and Alec Baldwin in the legion of celebrities whose recorded freak-outs have gone viral, Deadline reports. "I don’t get talked to like that by anyone," Chase said in a phone message to his Community boss, producer/showrunner Dan Harmon. "Certainly not in front of my wife and daughter you goddamn a******."

He goes on—you can hear the profanity-laced message here, being played aloud for giddy listeners. But behind the outburst is a tense relationship between two Hollywood hotshots described as "passionate" or "volatile," take your pick. Chase reportedly walked off set without filming one of his scenes last month, and Harmon dropped the F-bomb on him at the season wrap party. Hey, maybe this little drama will boost Community's ratings—which currently run second to NBC's highest-rated comedy, The Office. (For Bale's particularly nasty meltdown, click here.)
