Amazon Studios Executive Forced To Resign Over Sexual Harassment Allegations
Roy Price, who is a close friend of Harvey Weinstein, has stepped down from his position at Amazon Studio following allegations of sexual harassment.
He was accused of sexually harassing a female producer of the Amazon series 'Man in the High Castle'.
While the British tabloids are this morning reporting how Anna Friel fled a house party after Price made inappropriate sexual advances towards her.
Price was caught up in the Weinstein sex scandal last week when it was claimed that he "ignored" the 'Charmed' actress Rose McGowan when she told him she had been raped by Weinstein.
Following Price's decision to step down, the producer in question who claimed he sexually harassed her, Isa Hackett released the following statement: "An important conversation has begun about the need to create a culture in our industry which values respect and decency and rejects the abuse of power and dehumanizing treatment of others.
"This is truly an opportunity to find a better way forward, and ultimately toward a balanced representation of women and minorities in leadership positions."
