Thread: I don't want to be hiding from this piece so here it is. Bummer. It doesn't, of course, represent who we are and what we are about. In the least. Which is not to say that we've been perfect 1/ hollywoodreporter.com/news/ex-staff-…
Or anywhere near perfect. There have been problems, some of which I'm damned ashamed of. And a piece like this hits hard when in the rest of your work you are trying so hard to talk about fairness and decency. The best I can do is acknowledge where we've done wrong 2/
Where we've made mistakes (big difference), where we've been misunderstood (something unlucky but still for which we are accountable) and where we have tried but failed. It is odd to find myself in a rogue's gallery 3/
With Harvey Weinstein and Scott Rudin, and ironic for sure. And this is the one place I will allow myself to be a little defensive. Had we not tried to be a better workplace, had we not talked about ourselves as such, had we not, for reasons of ethics and transparency not 4/
refused to indulge in the dance of non disparagement clauses(we did ask for one, a long time ago, and swore them off thereafter)this wouldn't be happening. If not for all the non-disparagement clauses out there, THR would be filled to the brim with stories far worse than ours. 5/
But here I sigh a deep sigh and ask for your understanding and patience. We are doing the best we can. Isn't that all we can do? It would be so much easier to form a regular company that does all the regular things. But what's the point of that? 6/
You stick your neck out, sometimes it gets cut. The promise I make now to you and everyone, is that in good faith and with hard work, we hope to go forward better for the learning that has come from these last three years. In faith and love. END
