The decision was made to immediately remove him from production and I am confident the matter is being handled thoroughly,\u201d Gervais said.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to \u201cAfter Life,\u201d Hanson previously collaborated with Gervais on \u201cExtras,\u201d \u201cDerek,\u201d \u201cCemetery Injunction,\u201d and \u201cLife\u2019s Too Short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/ricky-gervais-appalled-predator-accusations-after-life-charlie-hanson\/\">TheWrap<\/a>, an anonymous email sent to Netflix and BAFTA alleged that Hanson, a producer on the Netflix show \u201cAfter Life,\u201d had a history of sexual misconduct. Hanson\u2019s name was withheld until the U.K.\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/tv-producer-charlie-hanson-faces-sex-claims-9hf9ck66m\">The Times<\/a> reported on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlie Hanson is a predator who uses his reputation, connections, and standing in order to groom far younger, impressionable and sometimes vulnerable women into trusting him,\u201d one woman wrote in the email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt times he will promise them a starry career under his wing, and then exploits that trust in creepy and illegal ways,\u201d the email continued. \u201cHe then tries to diminish the seriousness of what he\u2019s done by telling these young women \u2014 us \u2014 that it wasn\u2019t as bad as it seemed, that it was somehow blameless. He does his best to convince himself \u2014 and others \u2014 that this method of operating is fine. But we know it is not fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hanson denied all the charges against him in a statement through his attorney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not had one complaint in decades of work in the media industry. I categorically reject any wrongdoing on my part, and strongly refute the allegations that have been levelled at me,\u201d he said. \u201cI have worked with and supported hundreds of men and women during my working life and will do what is necessary to protect and\/or restore my reputation. I will also cooperate with any formal inquiries. The matter is now in the hands of my solicitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though an admitted liberal, Ricky Gervais became a favorite of conservatives in the early days of 2020 when he publicly&nbsp;roasted liberal Hollywood for posturing woke while allegedly being total degenerates in their private lives, from friendships with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to shady business deals with communist China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you do win an award tonight, don\u2019t use it as a political platform to make a political speech,\u201d Gervais famously told the crowd. \u201cYou\u2019re in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God \u2014 and f*** off, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gervais simultaneously roasted corporations like Apple and Amazon for producing supposedly \u201cwoke\u201d creative content while doing business in authoritarian countries like China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApple roared into the TV game with \u2018The Morning Show,\u2019 a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing \u2014 made by a company that runs sweatshops in China,\u201d Gervais said. \u201cWell, you say you\u2019re woke but the companies you work for in China \u2014 unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service you\u2019d call your agent, wouldn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
