Considering his behavior on Twitter at times and the various actors/actresses who've hinted at him being a reason for them choosing to leave, I guess it shouldn't be surprising of all the other stories of him behaving badly.

So, much worse is happening and being ignored... lol y’all are fucking hilarious!!!

So he’s a golfer?

So he’s like the majority of Straight white males in the Entertainment Industry. Shocker!

Good for CBS, these so-called boys clubs helped create: Ailes, Weinstein, Cosby, Rose, Epstein, Lauer, Trump, O’Reilly... The cost to companies and its culture is tremendous. There is such thing as morality clause, use it.

So he sat around smoking cigars with a bunch of guys and women's appearances came up?

Just hire a robot. No more humans.

As someone who has worked with Peter, I’ve never had a problem with him myself, but concur that the management of his lieutenants is wanting & morale definitely suffers if you find yourself on the outside of his clique.

Maybe the leads from 'Bull' and (over at NBC) 'Chicago P.D.' will finally get cleaned out, too.

And let’s NOT forget the closeted realTomSelleck was on the board of the bloody NRA NRA for years when children were getting slaughtered & he didn’t care or say anything! A pox on his house!!! 🦠🏠☠️ TomSelleck 🤮
