Kushell’s behavior also included telling coworkers about his “erotic dreams” and “making sexual remarks” on set. One writer referred to as “Janice” in Ryan’s book claimed Kushell screamed “Fuck her in the ass!” while reading feedback from a woman executive. Then, when another writer alluded to the fact that his son had a boyfriend, Kushell allegedly responded, “Fag!” When the writer told Kushell the word was offensive, according to the book, Kushell claimed he was referring to a cigarette.
