A brief cameo by former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., on Prime Video's “Jury Duty: Company Retreat” is taking some viewers by surprise following allegations of harassment and sexual misconduct that led to his resignation.
“That's crazy,” one user wrote on X, saying she didn't realize that the former congressman, whom she called “disgraced,” had appeared as an instructor on the show.
On Threads, one user described watching Swalwell on the show as “a little awkward.”
Another, responding to someone who had asked why no one had expressed concern about Swalwell's appearance, said they were glad his air time was so “cut.”

According to entertainment news platform Decider, Swalwell's appearance occurred around the 18-minute mark of episode 8 of “Company Retreat.”
None of the seminar that Swalwell teaches appears in the episode, but he does appear in front of the cast and asks if anyone has questions, the outlet added.
After calling out a character who asks, “Can you talk about the corrosive influence of money in politics?” Swalwell puts his hands in his pockets and lets out a sigh.
