Why doesn't ConcurrentModificationException happen with remove method of LinkedList?

Deque<Employee> employeeDeque = new LinkedList<>();
        employeeDeque.offerLast(new Employee("Michael", 250));
        employeeDeque.offerLast(new Employee("John", 250));
            Iterator iterator = employeeDeque.iterator();
        while (iterator.hasNext()) {
            iterator.next();
            employeeDeque.remove(new Employee("Michael", 250));
    }

The same code with ArrayList with produce this exception, but remove on LinkedList doesn't. Why is it so? Add() and Offer() methods still produce it.

The Javadoc for LinkedList says,

Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed...Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException on a best-effort basis.
