Roy Price, the executive in charge of Amazon’s growing investment in movies and television shows, was suspended by the company on Thursday after a Hollywood producer publicly accused him of making unwanted sexual advances toward her.
Mr. Price, the head of Amazon Studios, was accused of lewdly propositioning Isa Dick Hackett, a producer of one of its most popular shows, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published earlier in the day.
In the interview, Ms. Hackett, an executive producer of the Amazon series “The Man in the High Castle,” said that Mr. Price had repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances toward her two years ago after a dinner at Comic-Con in San Diego.
When reached by The New York Times on Thursday, Ms. Hackett said she was “talked out” but said that the details in the article, written by Kim Masters, were accurate.
“I just wanted to get that out,” Ms. Hackett said in the brief phone interview.
According to the Hollywood Reporter article, Ms. Hackett entered a cab on July 10, 2015, with Mr. Price and Michael Paull, then an executive at Amazon and now the chief executive of BamTech, as they were making their way to an after party. Ms. Hackett said that Mr. Price repeatedly propositioned her in the cab, once making use of a vulgar term for male genitalia. At the party, Ms. Hackett said, Mr. Price approached her while she was speaking to other executives and shouted “Anal sex!” directly in her ear. ...

This has the potential to be the new McCarthyism.

It's only a matter of time before the floodgates open in other industries.

So now a two year old allegation is enough to get you suspended from your job? No independent witnesses, no corroboration. Wow.

If it finally starts to clean up Hollywood, than it is severely overdue. There is way too many pedos and creeps that has been allowed to run free for decades.
Innocent until proven guilt should still be the standard in America, but this child molesters need to know they are not untouchable.

Witchhunts like these are why the best creative talent flocks to porn.

Don't know of you can ever clean up that industry with all the pedos, rapists, and freaks in that town... Plus it's been going on for probably about 100 yrs. It's the entire institution.

groping one chick from mtv, and literally sexually assaulting the candien reporter, and these are the ones on tape. One can only imagine what he's done behind the scenes.

Shouldn't you wait for some evidence of that instead of filling in the gaps?

Actresses whose careers are long over have found a great new way to garner attention. Right or wrong. True or false.

Idk this story, but I have a feeling that pretty soon, Jimmy Kimmel is going to have to issue a formal apology to all womenz for his participation in The Man Show.

The crybaby shtick he has been pulling lately is very suspicious. Someone is obviously pulling his strings. Looking forward to him being humiliated for his rapey behavior in the past.
"You should put your mouth on it" and statutory rape innuendo
(It is sad that it has come to this, but you have to fight terrorists with their own tactics)

Man Show Jimmy was the best Jimmy. At least Carolla never changed.

The day that I'm not allowed to shout "ANAL SEX" into a coworker's ear is the day that I leave the movie business.
