After an investigation into multiple allegations of sexual assault, Warner
00:04
Bros. has officially severed ties with longtime extra host A.J. Calloway.
00:09
The studio described the split as mutual, saying,
00:18
Calloway, who was initially suspended from Warner Bros. back in February during the
00:22
internal investigation, did not release his own statement following the news.
00:25
However, the host had previously denied any wrongdoing in regards to the
00:29
allegations made against him. The headlines began in June 2018 when author and
00:33
activist Salai Abrams alleged that Calloway had assaulted her in 2006. Soon after,
00:38
more accusers came forward in an article that was published by the Daily Beast.
00:42
Warner Bros. initially did not comment on the matter, but as The Hollywood Reporter
00:46
was preparing to publish a report of allegations against the entertainment host,
00:49
including three allegations of alleged rape, Calloway was suspended after 14 years
00:54
of extra. The studio claimed it had already investigated whether he had engaged in
00:58
misconduct on the job, but the company said,
01:06
At the time, Calloway's attorney, Lisa E. Davis, gave a statement to THR, saying,
01:10
Mr. Calloway maintains that these unsubstantiated allegations are patently false.
01:14
He vehemently denies that he ever assaulted anyone and looks forward to clearing his name.
01:19
Following the investigation's outcome, Abrams released a statement to THR, expressing her
01:23
relief that Warner Bros. finally addressed the matter, saying,
01:25
Though it took longer than it should have, the investigation apparently came to the
01:30
right conclusion. If survivors have the strength to fight, know that there is value
01:34
in staying the course. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
