The Rookie's studio says it already has an ongoing investigation into Afton Williamson's racism and sexual misconduct allegations
-
“We take claims of this nature very seriously,” said a spokesperson for studio eOne, in response to Williamson's Instagram post detailing allegations of racism and sexual harassment that she said were not taken seriously. “We have initiated an independent investigation which is ongoing and as such, it would not be appropriate to comment at this time.” ABC Studios also released a statement, saying that eOne in late June “made us aware and informed us that they launched an investigation that is ongoing. ABC Studios added: “The safety of working environments is a top priority for us, and we take this matter very seriously.”
