** In 1935, Gable and Loretta Young had an affair on the set of ''Call of the Wild'', resulting in a child born in the November of that year. In 2015, Linda Lewis, Loretta Young's daughter-in-law, claimed that Young told Lewis on her deathbed that it was not an affair, but that Gable had raped Young.
** Creator/GeorgeCukor's firing from ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' early in production was possibly at the request of Gable, who disapproved of Cukor's homosexuality.
** From the mid-1940s, Gable was a member of the [[MoralGuardians Motion Picture Alliance for the]] [[{{Eagleland}} Preservation of American Ideals]], an [[RedScare anti-Communist]] watchdog organization that helped to facilitate, and participated in, the [[UsefulNotes/JosephMcCarthy McCarthyist]] rhetoric that resulted in UsefulNotes/TheHollywoodBlacklist
* HeteronormativeCrusader: Allegedly, Creator/GeorgeCukor was kicked off of ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' mid-production because Gable disapproved of his homosexuality. Around thirty minutes of Cukor-shot footage survives in the final film.
* {{Jossed}}:[[invoked]] He repeatedly denied the newspaper rumours that he and Creator/VivienLeigh weren't getting along on the set of ''Film/GoneWithTheWind''. They found the rumours so funny that they would frequently greet each other by saying "How are you not getting on today?"
