Rudin, himself, hasn\u2019t responded to the article or the AP\u2019s request for comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither Aaron Sorkin, Wes Anderson, the Cohen Brothers, nor Paul Thomas Anderson \u2013 all of whom collaborated with Rudin on several projects \u2013 have issued a statement denouncing his behavior. On Monday, the Leaders of&nbsp;<a id=\"auto-tag_sag-aftra_1\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/sag-aftra\/\" data-tag=\"sag-aftra\">SAG-AFTRA<\/a>, Actors\u2019 Equity Association and&nbsp;<a id=\"auto-tag_american-federation-of-musicians_1\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/american-federation-of-musicians\/\" data-tag=\"american-federation-of-musicians\">American Federation of Musicians<\/a> Local 802 <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/film\/news\/theater-unions-workplace-abuse-scott-rudin-1234949645\/\">issued a general statement<\/a> denouncing toxic workplace behavior and office bullying; the statement did not mention Scott Rudin by name.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, the biggest name in the industry to publicly rebuke Rudin is Annapurna co-founder Megan Ellison. In a tweet last Wednesday, Ellison alleged that Rudin engaged in sexist and racist behavior beyond the allegations of physical and mental abuse detailed in the THR article.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis piece barely scratches the surface of Scott Rudin\u2019s abusive, racist, and sexist behavior. Similarly to Harvey, too many are afraid to speak out. I support and applaud those who did. There\u2019s good reason to be afraid because he\u2019s vindictive and has no qualms about lying,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Ellison retweeted a post from the brother of one of Rudin\u2019s former assistants, who allegedly suffered both physical and mental abuse at the hands of Rudin. The assistant later committed suicide, though it is not known whether his death is in any way connected to the accusations.<\/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><strong>RELATED:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-hollywood-producer-megan-ellison-accuses-scott-rudin-of-abusive-racist-sexist-behavior\">Top Hollywood Producer Megan Ellison Accuses Scott Rudin Of Abusive, Racist, Sexist&nbsp;Behavior<\/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.
