One particularly nasty incident involved him allegedly smashing an Apple computer over an assistant\u2019s hand, sending him to the emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt about 4:15 p.m. \u2014 more than 10 hours into a typical Rudin day that began at 6 and never wrapped before 8 \u2014 the Oscar-winning producer was enraged that one of his assistants failed to get him a seat on a sold-out flight,\u201d reported THR. \u201cIn a fit of fury, he allegedly smashed an Apple computer monitor on the assistant\u2019s hand. The screen shattered, leaving the young man bleeding and in need of immediate medical attention. One person in the office at the time described the incident as sounding like a car crash: a cacophonous collision of metal, glass and limb. The wounded assistant headed to the emergency room, and Rudin called his lawyer, according to another staffer there that Halloween afternoon. Everyone else huddled in the conference room, shaken. No one stayed until 8 p.m., with most of the staff heading over to a Times Square bar for a therapeutic drink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The alleged victim declined to comment on the story, but several former staffers claimed to have witnessed the horrific event.<\/p>\n<p>As THR noted, Rudin\u2019s alleged abuse has apparently been known in Hollywood circles for several years, though no Weinstein-style reckoning has come:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"22\">\n<p><em>For some four decades, Rudin\u2019s abusive behavior has been chronicled \u2014 even celebrated \u2014 by the press. In a 2010 profile, this publication dubbed him \u201cThe Most Feared Man in Town\u201d and called him \u201cdazzlingly charming\u201d one paragraph after describing acts of cruelty and intimidation. In a 2005&nbsp;Wall Street Journal&nbsp;profile with the headline \u201cBoss-zilla!,\u201d Rudin himself pegged the number of assistants he burned through in the previous five years at 119.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But in October 2017, Harvey Weinstein was toppled from power following twin investigative reports in&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;and&nbsp;The New Yorker&nbsp;detailing his sexual predation, ushering in the entertainment industry\u2019s #MeToo era. That reckoning has expanded in scope to include toxic behavior encompassing everything from racism to milder microaggressions. Talent and executives, including Sharon Osbourne at&nbsp;The Talk&nbsp;and three executive producers at&nbsp;The Ellen DeGeneres Show, have been kicked to the curb for bullying antics. Likewise,&nbsp;America\u2019s Got Talent&nbsp;judge Gabrielle Union received a settlement from NBC in September after filing an employment complaint that alleged a \u201ctoxic culture,\u201d which included fellow judge Simon Cowell smoking cigarettes on set and guest judge Jay Leno making a racist joke.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On top of his reportedly abusive behavior, Rudin would also allegedly retaliate against his former staffers by removing IMDB credits after they left his employment or bad-mouthing their reputations.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
