Update: Ousted Paramount Marketing Chief Megan Colligan says a pattern of gender bias and discrimination forced her to leave the company.
“Megan had no choice but to leave after enduring a pattern of gender bias and discrimination,” Bryan Freedman, an attorney for Colligan, said in a statement given to Deadline Hollywood.
“The disparate treatment of women by Paramount is evidenced when you unfold the truth of the exodus of high-level women in recent months. At least four other women have left and we believe that there are more to follow.”
A Paramount spokesperson did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment on the matter.
