Rudin also implied that Ellison needed to take \u2018meds\u2019 in order to get a production off the ground,\u201d reported the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Ellison retweeted a post from the brother of one of Rudin\u2019s former assistants, who committed suicide and allegedly suffered both physical and mental abuse at the hands of Rudin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe article was a challenging read because Kevin worked for Scott Rudin as his executive assistant in 2008 and 2009, and suffered much of the same abuse described in this article,\u201d the tweet read. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that the abuse Scott Rudin\u2019s [sic] inflicted on my brother alone caused Kevin to kill himself \u2013 but I think Rudin\u2019s abuse was undeniably a factor in the mental health issues Kevin suffered in the final years of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKevin developed a severe anxiety disorder in his time working for Rudin, and saw therapists on and off for the remainder of his life,\u201d the tweet-thread later added.<\/p>\n<p>In a lengthy expose for THR, several of Rudin\u2019s former staffers alleged that the producer, who already had a reputation for being hot-tempered, would regularly engage in verbally and physically abusive behavior in the office. 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<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/famed-producer-scott-rudin-accused-of-bullying-abuse-every-day-was-exhausting-and-horrific\">Famed Producer Scott Rudin Accused Of Bullying, Abuse: \u2018Every Day Was Exhausting And&nbsp;Horrific\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/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.
