Jason Mitchell, who turned heads with his portrayal of Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton, has been dropped by both his representation and a number of film and TV projects amidst allegations of misconduct. Though the nature of Mitchell’s offending behavior is unconfirmed, The Hollywood Reporter reports that Mitchell has been repeatedly accused of sexual harassment by Tiffany Boone, Mitchell’s co-star on Showtime’s The Chi. She reportedly felt so unsafe in his presence that her boyfriend, Dear White People’s Marque Richardson, was often on set during her scenes with him. Boone, it appears, was “among several actresses on the series who had issues with Mitchell.”
