Teen Actor Fires PA Over Allegations
Share:
You know that Hollywood culture is seriously problematic when a 14-year-old boy does what most adults are too afraid to and takes a stand against an alleged abuser.
After allegations were made towards the Stranger Things actor’s agent, Tyler Grasham, Finn Wolfhard fired him and left his company. He is currently without an agent but seeing as he is the most influential 14-year-old actor in the world right now, finding a new agent shouldn’t be too difficult.
Over the years, countless celebrities have kept quiet and not acted when they discovered that someone they work with was an abuser. Wolfhard must be the youngest to decide that doing the right thing is more important than looking after your own self-interest.
Actor Cameron Boyce has also fired Grasham but it is still unclear whether or not he has decided to leave the company.
Grasham has been accused of sexually assaulting young male actors including Blaise Godbe Lipman, who claims he was assaulted when he was 18. He took to Facebook to call out his abuser:
“Tyler Grasham, under the pretence of a business meeting regarding potential agency representation at APA Agency, fed me alcohol while I was underage and sexually assaulted me.”
TV editor Lucas Ozarowski also says that he was assaulted by Grasham. The alleged incident took place in 2016 and in light of the Harvey Weinstein revelations, he has decided he would like to pursue charges. In an email to Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer, he wrote: “I never filed any charges when in California but would like to pursue them now. The abuser in question has many high profile clients and young talent and I’m worried his actions against me are not his first and won’t be his last.”
