Netflix fires executive who told alleged victim that the company didn't believe her Danny Masterson assault claims

Now, Yeatman—who didn’t know he was talking to one of the women who have accused Masterson of assaulting them—has been fired; that’s per The Hollywood Reporter, which notes that Netflix issued a simple statement, reading, “Mr. Yeatman is no longer employed at Netflix,” to press outlets today.

The irony, of course, is that without Yeatman’s blunt assertions, it seems unlikely the company would ever have moved forward on its own; investigations into Masterson’s actions had allegedly “stalled” of late—with some people pointing to his connections to the Church Of Scientology as a major contributing factor. Yeatman’s public faux pas appears to have left Netflix with no choice in the matter, though; the company announced Masterson’s departure just a day or two after the Yeatman story broke.
