Ed Brubaker Sued for Harassment on 'Criminal' Set
A former PA accuses the comic book creator and showrunner of sexual, racial, and religious harassment, including pointing a firearm at her face.
What to know
- A production assistant alleges the showrunner of a major Amazon MGM series subjected him to sexual harassment, racial slurs, religious discrimination, and in one incident pointed a working firearm at his face—with a senior producer witnessing the incident and taking no action.
- The lawsuit names both Amazon MGM and production company Big Indie Pictures for failing to investigate documented misconduct 'occurring in plain view and witnessed by multiple people, including senior producers.'
- Noohu claims he was retaliated against after requesting a promotion, with his exit date moved up and his access to set barred; he was not credited on the production.
The comic book industry has a systemic problem with harassment and misconduct among prominent creators.

The show's fate is uncertain given the two-year gap between filming and potential release.

What do you mean 'closeted', and what would it matter anyway? The article doesn't say the gender of the plaintiff.

Yeah. I obviously don't know them personally, but Morrison's always come off as a chill person in interviews and stuff. They seemed pretty cool when they appeared on Seth Meyers a few years ago.
