STX Entertainment President Sophie Watts is leaving her role at the entertainment company after complaining of harassment by her boss CEO Robert Simonds, according to two individuals with knowledge of the situation.
Watts has been absent from STX since at least December. She resigned officially on Tuesday.
Reached for comment, Watts said, “I can’t comment on any of this.”
TheWrap attempted to reach Simonds by email and phone, with no reply. Company spokeswoman Patti Rockenwagner also did not respond to multiple emails and phone calls ahead of publication seeking response.
Update: 30 minutes after the publication of this story, STX sent a press release announcing Watts’ departure.
