By all accounts Beau's work on X-Men 97 was great and he was an actually really good showrunner, artistic vision wise. I dont think Ive heard a single negative word about the show lol, other than nitpicks.

Like honestly MOST sex pest allegations I didnt like the person in the first place so it doesnt hit me hard. But when I see a situation like this its like "man couldnt you have kept it in your pants for the art's sake?"

    He used to work on the witcher and got fired for abuse but would claim he got fired for trying to follow the sourse material, the fact that disney no comment fired him was a red flag

      Chuds that pull the "method acting" card are a similar kind of creep. Justin Roiland comes to mind.

      Hard to believe he was trying to follow the source material when he was sole writer for that awful witcher anime that pinned a bigoted pogrom on its victims.

      it gets worse:

      Jeff Sneider also reports an incident that involved Beau DeMayo groping an assistant on multiple occasions and that he was both emotionally and physically abusive to staffers.

    Such disgusting loser behavior, it isnt like he could have gotten these acts in a consensual manner. I guess the media industry encourges abusers to come out top.

    It's weird that they sat on this info until he got mad that they dropped his season 2 writing credits over a Twitter post and then they finally mentioned what it was that they fired him for months ago. He deleted his onlyfans immediately after being fired so I assumed it was related to that but I guess it was for being a sex pest? That sucks ass. Season one was such a banger
