Recently, it was reported that Millennium Media will embark on a project in association with Ratner’s RatPac Entertainment, a move that was condemned by the Time’s Up Foundation.
Foundation CEO Tina Tchen said: “TIME’S UP was born out of the national assessment of sexual harassment in the workplace. Our movement is the product of countless acts of courage by many survivors, including those who spoke about what they suffered. in the hands of Brett Ratner. “She added:” Ratner not only never acknowledged or apologized for the damage he caused, but he also sued in an attempt to silence the voices of the survivors who came forward. “
Tchen then said, “You can’t go away for a few years and then resurface and act like nothing has happened. We don’t forget – and we won’t – forget. And neither should Millennium Media. There should be no return.”
Ratner’s accusers include actors Ellen Page, Melanie Kohler, Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, among others. Ratner denied allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment. Since then, he has dropped the defamation lawsuits he filed against his accusers.
