Amazon Studios scandal

Amazon Studios were shaken in October, 2017 when Roy Price, who was head of the studio, was fired following a suspension over sexual harassment allegations. After he was out, the next person to leave the studios was Joe Lewis, his top lieutenant who was Head of Half Hour and Drama Series Development. It was a disappointing course of events as Lewis was promoted to that position just one year before the scandal – before that, he was overseeing development of half-hour series such as “Transparent” and the Golden Globe winning “Mozart in the Jungle”.

His girlfriend Yara was somehow connected to all of this, because there was a potential conflict of interest-influenced decisions as she was cast in Amazon’s “The Tick” TV series.

One thing which Yara found funny was that she had a simple costume with only a bit of makeup, while all the guys had tons of makeup and had more complicated costumes to wear. She claims how she loved everyone in the cast, which is not something that happens very often, however, this team was just right for her and she was happy to spend some time with them during this comic con as they didn’t get to hang out much during the shooting of the series.
