Editor Sues DreamWorks Over Transphobia During 'The Bad Guys 2' Production
6 Apr
Summary
- An editor is suing DreamWorks for alleged transphobic harassment.
- The lawsuit claims misgendering, dead-naming, and retaliation occurred.
- The film is a box office success despite the ongoing legal battle.
An editor has filed a lawsuit against DreamWorks Animation and NBCUniversal, alleging transphobic behavior and discrimination during the production of 'The Bad Guys 2.' The editor, who is a transgender man, claims he was misgendered, dead-named, and subjected to harassment by his supervisor. The suit, filed in a California state court, accuses the companies of gender-based harassment and retaliation. The editor also alleges that higher-ups were aware of the alleged misconduct but failed to intervene effectively.
Despite these serious allegations of workplace discrimination, 'The Bad Guys 2' has performed well commercially. The film has grossed $239 million at the box office and has recently been among the top ten most-streamed movies on Netflix. The lawsuit remains unresolved as the film continues to entertain audiences, underscoring a significant dichotomy between its public reception and the internal legal disputes.
