Megan Ellison spared Scott Rudin no quarter today. “This piece barely scratches the surface of Scott Rudin’s abusive, racist, and sexist behavior”, the Annapurna CEO said online after a
scathing _Hollywood Reporter_ cover story published today on alleged misconduct by the volatile EGOT producer. “Similarly to Harvey, too many are afraid to speak out,” the _Bombshell_ EP
added in the mid-morning tweet. “ I support and applaud those who did. There’s good reason to be afraid because he’s vindictive and has no qualms about lying.”

on the 10x Oscar nominated Coen Brothers 2010 western remake _True Grit_, which was distributed by Paramount. Ellison helped steer a number of Weinstein films as well: as a producer on
_Lawless_ and Paul Thomas Anderson’s _The Master_ and as an EP on_ The Grandmaster_ and_ Killing Them Softly._ The prolific Rudin, who is repped by WME, has the Amy Adams, Anthony Mackie and
Gary Oldman starrer _The Woman In The Window_ set to be released in May on Netflix. He is in production on A24 movies _Red, White And Water_, _The Tragedy Of Macbeth_ and _Men_. WATCH ON
DEADLINE The incarcerated Harvey Weinstein recently launched an appeal to have his 23-year sentence of last year for sex crimes overturned and a new trial ordered.
