LOS ANGELES: Film Studio Warner Bros and filmmaker Brett Ratner have decided to part ways in the wake of sexual harassment allegations.
Ratner will be removed as a producer on the film adaptation of the best-selling novel "The Goldfinch," reported Variety.
"In light of the allegations being made, I am choosing to personally step away from all Warner Bros related activities. I don't want to have any possible negative impact to the studio until these personal issues are resolved," Ratner said in a statement.
Yesterday, six women, including actor Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, detailed their experiences with the director-producer.
Few hours after the revelation, Warner Bros released a statement via a spokesperson, saying, "We are aware of the allegations in the LA Times and are reviewing the situation." The studio has since reviewed their options and have made the decision not to renew Ratner's first-look deal, which had since expired.
