What Happened to Brett Ratner?
In an explosive report in November 2017 by the Los Angeles Times, Ratner was accused of varying degrees of sexual harassment by six women, including actresses Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.
As a result, he was forced to withdraw from all of his production company’s projects at Warner Bros. Meanwhile, Playboy Enterprises shelved a Hugh Hefner biopic he was set to direct and produce.
“Not only did Ratner never acknowledge or apologize for the harm he caused, but he also filed lawsuits in an attempt to silence the voices of survivors who came forward a tactic right out of the predator’s playbook,” Tina Tchen, president and CEO of Time’s Up Foundation, said in a statement.
