Vincent Cirrincione, the manager who helped launch the careers of Halle Berry and Taraji P. Henson, is the latest Hollywood gatekeeper to be accused of sexual harassment by multiple women.
In a report from The Washington Post published on Friday, nine women said Cirrincione repeatedly offered representation and career guidance in exchange for sex. The accusers, eight African-American and one Asian-American, said Cirrincione leveraged his experience with two of the most successful black actresses in the industry to manipulate them into sexual encounters.
The accusations of inappropriate behavior from Cirrincione date from 1993 to 2011, including offers of quid pro quo and one actress who said he repeatedly masturbated in front of her during the years he managed her.
