皮克斯元老拉塞特身陷性騷擾醜聞，已道歉離職

近來，國外影視圈連爆性醜聞。

今天據大量外媒報道，皮克斯首席創意官約翰·拉塞特（John Lasseter）也因為被現職與離職員工投訴長期性騷擾，被停職半年，暫時離職。

據美國娛樂新聞《好萊塢報導》，不少迪斯尼與皮克斯的相關人士已經證實Lasseter一連串的不適當行為。Lasseter會抓住別人並親吻，甚至會評論他人的身體。

前皮克斯內部人士也揭露出，Lasseter的騷擾並不是個別行為，並稱他喜歡在公司聚會等各種社交活動中大量飲酒。在皮克斯公司內的聚會，女員工離Lasseter遠遠的，避免被猛灌酒的他亂親。

據員工爆料，員工們甚至以「Lasseter」來命名拒絕被摸腿的動作，還為了防止被他出其不意地親吻，發明出特別的『轉頭』動作，這樣他只能親吻到臉頰上。

他在公司內部的備忘中對員工緻歉：

我想向每一位曾被我不情願地擁抱、或認為我的動作越線的人致歉。你們是我的世界，我為令你們失望鄭重道歉。無論我有多出於好意，所有人都有權定下自己的界線，並得到尊重。我會停職6個月……（非完整版）

而另一方面，在《好萊塢報道》中指出《玩具總動員4》女編劇Rashida Jones和她的另一位編劇搭檔Will McCormack也因為Lasseter的行為就離開了這個項目。

但據Jones的最新聲明，她提出她們的離開是涉及到皮克斯整個體制以及氛圍的問題，她們認為在皮克斯中，女性與有色人種不能得到機會平等地發聲。

關於Lasseter的控訴爆料，外媒還在繼續，牽扯的人事也越來越多。Lasseter是史上第一部三維動畫長片《玩具總動員》的導演，近年擔任過迪士尼、皮克斯多部動畫的監製，包括即將上映的《尋夢環遊記》（Coco）。

至於Lasseter這是「暫時」離職還是「永久」離職，就不得而知了。

附：John Lasseter 發布的memo原文

I have always wanted our animation studios to be places where creators can explore their vision with the support and collaboration of other gifted animators and storytellers. This kind of creative culture takes constant vigilance to maintain. It』s built on trust and respect, and it becomes fragile if any members of the team don』t feel valued. As a leader, it』s my responsibility to ensure that doesn』t happen; and I now believe I have been falling short in this regard.

I』ve recently had a number of difficult conversations that have been very painful for me. It』s never easy to face your missteps, but it』s the only way to learn from them. As a result, I』ve been giving a lot of thought to the leader I am today compared to the mentor, advocate and champion I want to be. It』s been brought to my attention that I have made some of you feel disrespected or uncomfortable. That was never my intent. Collectively, you mean the world to me, and I deeply apologize if I have let you down. I especially want to apologize to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug or any other gesture they felt crossed the line in any way, shape, or form. No matter how benign my intent, everyone has the right to set their own boundaries and have them respected. In my conversations with Disney, we are united in our commitment to always treat any concerns you have with the seriousness they deserve, and to address them in an appropriate manner. We also share a desire to reinforce the vibrant, respectful culture that has been the foundation of our studios』 success since the beginning. And we agree the first step in that direction is for me to take some time away to reflect on how to move forward from here. As hard as it is for me to step away from a job I am so passionate about and a team I hold in the highest regard, not just as artists but as people, I know it』s the best thing for all of us right now. My hope is that a six-month sabbatical will give me the opportunity to start taking better care of myself, to recharge and be inspired, and ultimately return with the insight and perspective I need to be the leader you deserve. I』m immensely proud of this team, and I know you will continue to wow the world in my absence. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and look forward to working together again in the new year.

John

We feel like we have been put in a position where we need to speak for ourselves. The breakneck speed at which journalists have been naming the next perpetrator renders some reporting irresponsible and, in fact, counterproductive for the people who do want to tell their stories. In this instance, The Hollywood Reporterdoes not speak for us. We did not leave Pixar because of unwanted advances. That is untrue. That said, we are happy to see people speaking out about behavior that made them uncomfortable. As for us, we parted ways because of creative and, more importantly, philosophical differences.

There is so much talent at Pixar and we remain enormous fans of their films. But it is also a culture where women and people of color do not have an equal creative voice, as is demonstrated by their director demographics: out of the 20 films in the company』s history, only one was co-directed by a woman and only one was directed by a person of color. We encourage Pixar to be leaders in bolstering, hiring, and promoting more diverse and female storytellers and leaders. We hope we can encourage all those who have felt like their voices could not be heard in the past to feel empowered.
