Kreisberg was suspended following claims by 15 women and four men that he “engaged in a pattern of alleged sexual harassment and inappropriate physical contact over a period of years.” He has denied the allegations, which come amid a series of high-profile accusations against Hollywood and entertainment industry figures. Ellen Page and Olivia Munn have made accusations against director and producer Brett Ratner and longtime DC Comics editor Eddie Berganza has been fired following allegations.
