Jason Mitchell has opened up about what he says are the real reasons for his departure from Lena Waithe’s Showtime series “The Chi” and the Netflix movie “Desperados” following an investigation into an accusation about off-set behavior in May.
In a radio interview on “The Breakfast Club” Monday, Mitchell answered questions about the sexual misconduct allegations that lead to his departure from both projects, and to be dropped by his agency, UTA.
According to Mitchell, it began during pre-production on “Desperadoes” after a night out in Mexico City with one of his fellow cast members, whom he did not name.
