The Flash, Supergirl & More CW Shows Cancelled? Showrunner Suspended After Sexual Harassment Allegations

November 11, 2017 by RenewCancelTV 10 Comments

The Flash Season 5 On The CW: Cancelled or Renewed? (Release Date)

Andrew Kreisberg, co-creator/executive producer of the CW/Warner Bros TV DC series The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow, has been suspended from his duties by the studio today over allegations of sexual harassment, with WBTV launching an internal investigation.

“We have recently been made aware of allegations of misconduct against Andrew Kreisberg,” Warner Bros. TV Group said in a statement Friday night. “We have suspended Mr. Kreisberg and are conducting an internal investigation. We take all allegations of misconduct extremely seriously, and are committed to creating a safe working environment for our employees and everyone involved in our productions.

Source and more: Deadline

None of the 19 sources for this story wanted to be named for fear of retaliation. Many of the women are current or former employees in a range of positions on those shows, and they cited fear of retaliation from either Warner Bros., the studio that makes those dramas, or from the companies and individuals associated with those programs.

“We were recently made aware of some deeply troubling allegations regarding one of our showrunners,” said Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, who head Berlanti Productions which oversee Kreisberg’s shows. “We have been encouraging and fully cooperating with the investigation into this by Warner Bros. There is nothing more important to us than the safety and well-being of our cast, crew, writers, producers and any staff. We do not tolerate harassment and are committed to doing everything we can to make an environment that’s safe to work in and safe to speak up about if it isn’t.”

All the men and women who spoke to Variety describe similar incidents of inappropriate touching and endemic sexual harassment; they often told the same stories and corroborated each other’s accounts.

According to sources who either witnessed this behavior or were subjected to it, Kreisberg is accused of frequently touching people without their permission, asking for massages from uncomfortable female staff members, and kissing women without asking. Almost every source cites a constant stream of sexualized comments about women’s appearances, their clothes, and their perceived desirability.

Kreisberg told Variety, “I have made comments on women’s appearances and clothes in my capacity as an executive producer, but they were not sexualized. Like many people, I have given someone a non-sexual hug or kiss on the cheek.” He denies that any inappropriate touching or massages occurred.

Will The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow and/or Legends of Tomorrow be cancelled in wake of Kreisberg’s sexual harassment allegations and suspension, or, more likely, will the showrunner be axed? Stay tuned for the outcome…

    It is like what many say …Give him the sack and go on with an other producer,,…Everybody is replaceable…..I noticed in my life also, because those people (hum… Stars, need that job too)
    If you have a certain talent it do not mean you can become an animal…Keep i mind tat the girls also can make up stories to feed the hate to someone!!

    If all the shows were cancelled because someone “Allegedly” made some sort of sexual comment or advancement Hollywood & the whole TV industry would be non-existant! However I love to see the Liberals eating themselves.
