Flash showrunner suspended over "a pattern of alleged sexual harassment"

WBTV has suspended co-creator, executive producer, and showrunner Andrew Kreisberg from his duties on The Flash tonight, over multiple allegations of sexual harassment that have been levied against him. This is per Deadline and Variety, both of which are reporting on a statement released by Warner Bros. TV Group tonight, stating, “We have recently been made aware of allegations of misconduct against Andrew Kreisberg. We have suspended Mr. Kreisberg and are conducting an internal investigation. We take all allegations of misconduct extremely seriously, and are committed to creating a safe working environment for our employees and everyone involved in our productions.”

Kreisberg is a long-time member of the Greg Berlanti production family, with credits on all of the TV megaproducer’s superhero shows, including Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends Of Tomorrow. According to Deadline, there have apparently been numerous complaints about him from Flash staffers, though, accusing him of creating a “toxic” and “unhealthy” work environment, and stating that he “engaged in a pattern of alleged sexual harassment and inappropriate physical contact over a period of years.”
