DEADLINE: TIME'S UP JOINS ACTORS’ EQUITY CALL FOR SCOTT RUDIN TO DITCH NDAS; BROTHER OF LATE RUDIN ASSISTANT DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY

“First and foremost, we owe a debt of gratitude to the brave employees who came forward with allegations of workplace bullying and harassment against Scott Rudin. For far too long, this abusive behavior has been a stepping stone to success in Hollywood and on Broadway — but those days are over.

“No one should have to endure the kind of abhorrent mistreatment that has been reported and live under fear of retaliation. We still don’t know the full extent of what occurred.
