The producer of cinematographer John Bailey’s most recent film — the 2017 Pantelion comedy “How to Be a Latin Lover” — told TheWrap that “certainly on one on our movie” has accused the Motion Picture Academy president of misconduct.
On Friday, Variety reported that the Academy had launched an investigation into Bailey after receiving three accusations of sexual harassment earlier in the week.
“He’s the most professional outstanding person, he was great to work with, no sense of anything that would lead to these accusations,” producer Ben Odell told TheWrap, adding, “If it’s true then those who have acted poorly need to be punished for it.”
