In a new report from the Los Angeles Times, David Graziano's industry colleagues and former employees have called out his toxic and misogynistic behavior.
A different, former assistant also detailed the grotesque and inappropriate comments he made about and to women, including herself. “‘Our relationship could’ve been very different. We would have had a passionate night of sex with our clothes on the floor, but we would instantly have regretted it because we are like brother and sister,’” the assistant recalled Graziano telling her.
Along with this behavior, Graziano also reportedly once brought in a stun ring and began “zapping it around the writers’ room.” His spokesperson was quick to clarify that he did this without “administering a shock to anyone in the room.”As is often and frustratingly the case, his alleged behavior of sexualizing women, making racial microaggressions against minorities, and having an explosive temper, toed the line just beneath being anything that could officially be considered harassment.
It’s worth noting that, for the last three months, Graziano’s Instagram bio says: “duking it out with lifelong #cptsd,” “#cptsdrecovery,” and “#cptsawareness.” CPTSD stands for “complex post-traumatic stress disorder” and is the same condition Joss Whedon, another showrunnerof workplace misconduct, claims he suffers from.
