Breaking: Warner Bros. Chief Executive Kevin Tsujihara will step down after allegations that he had an affair with a young actress and tried to help her get cast in the Burbank studio’s movies.

that included text messages between Tsujihara, 54, and aspiring British actress Charlotte Kirk. She was eventually cast in the 2018 caper film “Ocean’s 8” and the 2016 rom-com “How to Be Single.”“It is in the best interest of WarnerMedia, Warner Bros., our employees and our partners for Kevin to step down as chairman and CEO of Warner Bros.,” said WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey in a statement. “Kevin has contributed greatly to the studio’s success over the past 25 years and for that we thank him.

“I deeply regret that I have made mistakes in my personal life that have caused pain and embarrassment to the people I love the most,” Tsujihara said in an emailed memo to staff. “I don’t usually call about casting about these types of roles,” Tsujihara wrote to Kirk in response to an inquiry about a television show, according to the Hollywood Reporter story. “It’s fine, I just need to be careful.”

Later, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Kirk texted Ratner and suggested she was “used as icing on the cake” for the deal between Warner Bros. and Ratner’s company. In an exchange with Packer, she wrote: “I didn’t expect to be part of a business deal so all I’m asking is u just help me with a couple of roles it’s not big deal and then we’ll just put this all behind us.”

“I acknowledge I may have made some poor choices and I’m sorry for that, but I’ve learned from my mistakes since then and have grown a lot, as a person, as a woman, and as a professional actor,” she wrote.

I'll take his job

At this rate let’s just remove and replace everyone. It’s about time the truth is being revealed. These things can’t be hidden any longer.

So what.

“WarnerMedia is expected to consider high-profile women for the top studio job...” So they’ll be hiring based on gender? Quite literally, sexist. JustSayin

Typical liberal

But did she accept?

tiffvnydinh hanakattt

One of many... DarkToLight WWG1WGA

Basically how Jennifer Lawrence got her oscar from her sugar daddy harvey

So this is news?!

If it was consensual, than what’s the problem. It takes two to get it done. Unless it wasn’t.

Okay so now we see why DC has been making bad films.

As if this is a rare case. Or even shocking. Oh, the hypocrisy. Faux Outrage.....

You have a right to be in a relationship woman 40s 50s late 30s to for her to bearva kid offspring agingman though you have no right to blackmsil an actress how cone she didnt speakout

“And a man in my position can’t afford to be made to look ridiculous.”

1WithTheFlow This shit doesn't surprise me since I watched the show Entourage 10 years back. Just a previlaged guy in a privileged position

There is the dirty guy taking advantage of his position but there are also the woman willing to participate if it gets them fame.....And those caught in between

Eagerly awaiting to see how the media will make Mr. Tsujihara into a white male. 🍿🍿🍿

I’m stunned some old fuck trying to use his status to get laid wow I’m lost for words

It takes two to tango...

Shocking !! NOT 🤣

Steps down... yeah thats basically admitting the the allegations. I hope hollywood gets turned upsidedown.

Geez!

Can I be in you're movies?

AOBTD

More Liberalmetoo who are supporters in public but who have no respect for people behind closed doors. Just more Liberal hypocrisy!

Heidy5545

what about all the ones that accepted and got roles? they are also victims? feminists keep talking about equality between sexes but yet every time something happens that equality magically disappears and its victim this and victim that.

It's a two way street, she agreed to have sex with him and now is accusing him of using her. Right!

Yeah like a woman or man never wanted to sleep to the top lol

pedowood

No surprise here.

Let the woman still have her 15 minutes of fame... She's worked hard for it.

Just another day in hollyweird

Forbidden sushi

A cesspool of crime corruption greed fraud graft crookedness and all around unscrupulous behavior of sexoffenders

Congrats bro you ate forbidden apple..

Nothing new here..We knew about this sort of WHORENESS by pigs years ago. No, I am not making reference to the actresses. Male PIGS.

Can they do the same to Trump?

Sleezy hollywood !!

Basically consensual though? They’re both benefiting. It’s like a business agreement. Sad. But if she wanted to make an honest living she would have grinded her way to the top like other actors/actresses. Fast track? Sex Acts/seduction/flirtation. Weak.

the last practitioner of the ' casting couch ' ?

I mean.... this is pretty common? There’s a mutual understanding that they use each other to get what the other wants? She wants roles and he wants sex. This literally happens everywhere all the time. Hence the phrase- “Sugar daddy”

Welcome to Hollywood.. That's nothing new

During the Roman times it was legal to return favors with sexual acts. Forward to 2019 this shouldn't even be a news. Technology has evolved, humans on the other hand hasn't. Yikes

Okay, I know that this is a horrible thing to derive humor from, but here me out. I misread the headline as dude resigns and claims he solicited sex, which is hilarious because where else in the modern world would someone “claiming” that they did something horrible not be damning

My man Kevy Kev!

And yet you got nadda to say about HarveyWeinstein who you & the so called 'news media' protect.

Who gains anything by this? She already dismissed it. This happens EVERYWHERE. Now you’re forcing them to NDA 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sick old fart

FirstThem

Say it ain’t so.

Gasp.

KevinTsujihara another icky from Hollywood creep who meets his downfall w the help of an actress CharlotteS_Kirk sleeping her way to the top! Yet another WarnerBrosEnt scandal--What's new?!😒

Shocker lol .

That's pedowood for ya. One by one they are dropping. Who's next?

These powerful men just don’t learn any lesson. In this Me Too environment & seeing all those taken down in the past few months, this man puts himself in this position. Wow

bobbyleelive Khalamityk thetigerbelly not just white dudes

These guys haven't learned yet that times have changed. You can't do everything the other guys did. They don't get caught.

Apparently these executives have no game! Can’t get a girl without dangling a job over their head. Kinda weak...

I'm pretty sure miss CK was pretty aggressive and not so innocent...

This is just another well worn plot starring the casting couch.

😂😂😂😂

Gross

No shock from liberal Hollyweird.

ATC330R As though he couldn't get her cast. . .if he wanted it, it would have happened. PERIOD.

R-E-A-L-L-Y

LMAO! This industry is biting its own ass off!! College scams, now more casting couch shenanigans!

He, and how many others? I bet all of them have done it. 🤮

Excuse me Hollywood who should I vote for in 2020 ?

So she could have said no. Couldn't she? I wanna be famous and I'll suck dick to do it while shes blowing the backwoods town jock. Gets a hollywood break but has sex to get it willingly. I dont know. Its hollywood if you dont like it put a stop to it by not watching the shows

Gross! How ancient is this guy?

How many OTHERS?

She must be super bad at acting.... Cause this ‘plan’ usually works

Ewww! Gross! What is with these men? 🤦‍♀️

Imagine my shock

Objects in sex mirror are closer than they appear.

Toxic white privilege gone wrong!

Then I hope she doesn’t have a job either then

Boy oh boy, the cheating never stops!

FirstThem 🤔

This CEO engages in Sex with this actress so she gets a roll in a film .She will get a lot more.

This is wrong but it’s not news tho. Everyone in Hollywood know this 🤷🏽‍♂️

Neutering is ALWAYS an option for filth like this...

It seems perfect that the guy who promoted this creep is named “Stankey”

AMWF

His office

And so it begins..the purge of Hollywood

People in power doing things that people in power do when held unaccountable? No! It can’t be true! Shocking. Gasp. Surprise. No one could have ever guessed. ...

White people am I righ- Yeah well whatever it isn’t a white person

FYI the entire movie industry ignored the cases between 2010-2016 of award winning singer Bralalalala v Iron Man,Amazing Spider Man,Interstellar,Django Unchained etc supervising art director sex assault/malicious prosecution. Yes Bralalalala is trans but I knew industry game then

What’s the point of being the head of the movie studio if you can’t try to get laid for being the head is the movie studio. I’m sure every plumber, electrician and janitor is leveraging whatever they can

lolll this was the promoted tweet when I went to her twitter page

People likely will bust my chops for saying this but AT LEAST it was consensual

Rich or Poor No One is Above the law... Time has come 4 all too Fall from grace!! $$$'-Power''- =Sex. Has too Stop and be exposed for what it is...

So ..yeah...nothing has changed.

To think he’s the only one who’s been doing this is laughable. Ever heard of “the casting couch”?

And after all that auditioning she didn't even get the role.

Down [they] go

SagarPattar yikes

Bugs Bunny is disappointed

Blown away - no pun intended. This doesn’t sound like Hollywood at all....

That’s the sanitized version *cough* pedophilia, dark occult

Big surprise there 🙄

CastingCouch Zoned

Shocked. SHOCKED!

There needs to be accountability on both sides. It’s obvious this actress wanted to be a star -and by any means necessary would do what she had to do to achieve that. He was wrong and so was this actress. They both had choices.

Well you are going to ditch almost every person in Hollywood. They even make movie/tv scenes potraying this.

Can I have his job?

Is that wrong?

The world is moving to achieve the quality of trading plans and seeking the capabilities of the public work and circulation role and through the system of legislation back systems oath and labor legislation governing the Central Organ and the regulation of appointment
