Don't these kinds of articles usually end with "we contacted X and Y for comment but they didn't answer?" Rather than just parroting literally what some other sources said and then calling a day? Let me guess, that would have been problematic as kurvitz and co would very much have responded. Having the editor of the book also come out and say "yeah it was a shitshow" is a bit damning, imo, what angle could he have? Fallout and subsequent corpo payoff? We'll probably never know for sure.

Assume, for the sake of argument all of this is true. Companies usually keep sexpest creatives around and shield them for waaaaay too long as long as they're bringing in the big bucks. So, if anything, this particular company "doing the right thing" and kicking them out (right after the project is finished, we can't do the right thing before getting that bread) is out of ordinary and makes me thing this is indeed intended as character assassination.
