Hollywood and Broadway producer, Scott Rudin, is being accused of violent and "unhinged" outbursts by several of his former staffers in a scathing exposé that was recently published. Some of Rudin's credits include The Social Network and No Country for Old Men, the latter of which he won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2008. Rudin has also won 17 Tony Awards for producing Broadway hits such as The Book of Mormon and Hello, Dolly! His latest project, The Woman in the Window starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, and Anthony Mackie, will be released on Netflix May 14th.

For decades, Rudin's behavior has been well-documented and even celebrated by various news outlets. In 2010, a Rudin profile published by THR described his various acts of abuse and called him "dazzlingly charming." In a 2005 Wall Street Journal profile headlined, "Boss-zilla!," the producer estimated the number of assistants he had in the past 5 years was 119. While other Hollywood bullies have recently faced reckonings, Rudin has largely been given a pass for his behavior. However, that may be beginning to change.

In an exposé published by THR, several of Rudin's former staffers are accusing him of workplace abuse. For instance, former Rudin assistant turned Queen & Slim producer, Andrew Coles, recalls an incident in which Rudin allegedly smashed a computer monitor on another assistant's hand, sending them to the emergency room. The full report published by THR goes deep into a myriad of alleged abuse and misconduct that staffers faced while working for Rudin.

Caroline Rugo, a former executive coordinator at Rudin Productions, also shared numerous instances of alleged abuse. One instance involved Rudin throwing a glass bowl at a staffer and another when he threw a laptop at a window. Multiple staffers corroborated these incidents and described an incredibly intense workplace environment where guys' "hair was falling out" and "were developing ulcers."

Since the dawn of Hollywood, there has been an inherent power imbalance that lends itself to abuses of power, with abusive behavior often going overlooked. While there have been past reports of Rudin's behavior, oftentimes it takes many alleged victims speaking up to finally affect real change. This report by THR may be the start of another reckoning in Hollywood reminiscent of Harvey Weinstein, who was finally toppled from power following two investigative reports in which more than a dozen victims spoke up regarding his sexual predation. This effectively began the industry's milestone #MeToo movement, yet it remains to be seen what effect this exposé by THR will have on the industry at large.
