Amazon programming chief placed on leave after The Man in the High Castle producer accuses him of sexual harassment

Variety

Amazon said Amazon Studio chief Roy Price is “on leave of absence effective immediately” after sex harassment allegations were made public this afternoon by Isa Hackett (pictured), executive producer of The Man in the High Castle and the daughter of author Philip K. Dick (whose 1962 novel inspired the Amazon series). Hackett, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, said that Price kept repeatedly and insistently propositioning her during a cab ride at 2015 Comic-Con, telling her: “You will love my d*ck.” Hackett says she immediately told two people of the alleged incident, which The Hollywood Reporter confirmed. Price, through a spokesperson, declined to comment on the accusation before his suspension.
