Embattled producer Scott Rudin resigns from Broadway LeagueFilm and theater producer Scott Rudin is resigning from the Broadway League as he faces allegations of decades of abusive and violent behavior. Good. I hope he continues to be shamed and ultimately shunned by everyone in the theatre community. I have a family member who is an Oscar-winning producer so I know how talented Scott Rudin is, but there’s absolutely no excuse for him to treat people like he has. Harvey Weinstein lost it all for his treatment of women. Mr. Rudin is abusive to both genders. He should go. It's sad it's so many of them, it's obviously a culture of abuse
