Chevy Chase’s daughter, Caley Chase, says her dad was heckled at the wrap party for the show.

In the new CNN documentary, I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, Caley recalled going to the party with Chevy, who played Pierce Hawthorne.

"My dad was super excited to bring me and my mom to the wrap party," Caley, 40, recalled. "We walk in, [Community creator] Dan [Harmon], he had had some drinks. He had gotten the whole cast and crew to yell, 'F*** you, Chevy!’ ‘F*** you, Chevy!'"

"I’m there, he’s showing his daughter, like, 'This is the show I did,' and we walk in to 'F*** you, Chevy!’ That’s rough and mean," she continued.

The NBC sitcom centered on the antics of a community college study group and ran for five seasons, starting in 2009.

Chevy left the show in 2012 after saying the N word on set during a "blackface" puppet bit the actor had to do. His costar Yvette Nicole Brown, was offended and demanded an apology.

Director Jay Chandrasekhar recalled the incident in the documentary, saying, "I know that there was a history between [Chevy and Yvette] around race, and she got up and stormed out of there."

He continued, "Chevy storms off, so the producer is like, 'We need Yvette in the scene, right?' I’m like, 'Yeah, she’s in the next scene.' And he goes, 'Well, she won’t come out unless Chevy apologizes to her.'"

Chandrasekhar added that Chevy claimed he "didn’t say anything" to offend Brown, 54, and when the director told him to apologize, he replied, "For what?!"

Chevy Chase shared that director Dan Harmon ultimately called him and apologized for the wrap party incident. "He called and said he was sorry. I love him now," he shared.
