David Guillod, the co-CEO of talent and literary agency Primary Wave Entertainment, announced he would take an immediate leave from the company Friday while it investigates “Ted” actress Jessica Barth’s accusation that he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2012. Her account was first reported by TheWrap on Thursday.
“Following recently reported accusations, David Guillod is taking a leave of absence from Primary Wave Entertainment, effective immediately, in order for this matter to be thoroughly investigated. We take any accusations of sexual misconduct very seriously. Our company’s greatest strength is our culture of respect, and we have a zero tolerance policy toward harassment or abuse of any kind,” a spokeman for Primary Wave told TheWrap.
