Patti who?

Really CarlosAlberto? You're using a thread about anti-bullying to bully another person having nothing whatsoever to do with the person in question? Interesting choice...

There was a similar expose being written at NYT, but was scrapped for obvious reasons.

My favorite line from this article...

“In the year since the theater industry shut down, there has been reckoning after reckoning, and true to form, the theater industry — the Broadway industry, particularly — has done what it does best, the bare minimum.”

So true.

Being an a-hole isn’t a reason to cancel someone. As previously said - if you don’t like it - don’t work with him!"

Are you kidding?! This dude is a bully who physically assaulted multiple people over multiple, causing some to go to hospital, and yet this doesn’t deserve cancellation?! No worries though, let’s just try and cancel Laura Osnes instead for the heinous crime of being religious!! Lol, the hypocrisy is real #makeitmakesense

Oh for fvcks sake RELAX! It was a joke. How was typing "Patti Who?" bullying anyone?

Not at all surprised at this. People in power abuse people .

Whether in politics or theater sports teaching to mention but a few.

They wield their power whenever and however they can .

nope, still don't see how that was even remotely bullying. but since you've assigned yourself her protector, have fun with that!

No. Anyway, one of the comments here is particularly intriguing: https://jezebel.com/1846635624

Here is the comment:

------------------------------

A friend of mine was in a Broadway show produced by Scott Rudin and said he was a nightmare. She had the starring role as a fill in for the main lead as she didn’t want to do the show 6 nights a week (she wasn’t understudy - she actually was in the play 1-2 nights every week during the entire run). Anyway, he basically told her she was no good, couldn’t live up to the main role (meanwhile, this friend has a few Tony awards) and couldn’t understand why he ever hired her. She cried for weeks during rehearsals because he tore her apart. She needed the gig to pay the bills so she had no choice but to stay. If that wasn’t the case, she would have left in a heart beat because he was a terrible bully. I’ve heard stories about him for years and yet no one seems to have ever made it public - I wonder why not - another powerful white man in the entertainment industry who gets away with horrible behavior.

Fun fact: I grew up in the same town as Scott Rudin - went to high school with his brother. Scott didn’t come from much so he was a town “success” until all these stories came out.

And multiple-Tony awards to boot. I think it must be Donna Murphy. Urgh, sorry Donna!

Another powerful voice who could speak out on this is Stephen Sondheim. According to Arthur Laurents, Stephen and Scott Rudin apparently have had a bitter feud since the days of Wise Guys (though it appears they might have made up recently as there is an article describing Scott Rudin working on Sondheim's new show from a few years ago). Stephen Sondheim even asked Arthur Laurents to stop speaking to Scott Rudin - Arthur refused (isn't it fitting that Arthur Laurents, who also has a terrible backstage reputation, would be chummy with Scott Rudin). Sondheim does not need Scott Rudin - please, help put an end to the misery that Scott Rudin appears to be creating within this community!
