I Was Threatened For Reporting Will Smith’s S*xual Misconduct – Brian King Joseph

Professional violinist Brian King Joseph, who has sued Will Smith and his company for s*xual harassment, has spoken up. He recently alleged wrongful termination and retaliation, sharing a video hinting at the legal matter days before he filed the complaint in court.

According to him, while he cannot get into the details of what exactly transpired between him and the Hollywood actor, he refuses to be threatened for reporting s*xual misconduct at work.

Brian added that he is ready to speak up to inspire other victims who have been forced to say nothing.

His words, “Earlier this year I was hired to be a performer on a major major tour with somebody who was huge in the industry. So I was excited, you know, proud of myself for getting the opportunity. Unfortunately some things happened.

I can’t get too into the details of exactly what that was because it’s already a legal issue right now, but the reason why I’m speaking out about this is because getting fired or getting blamed or shamed or threatened or anything like that simply for reporting sexual misconduct or safety threats at work is not okay.

I know that there’s a lot of other people out there who have been afraid to speak out, and I understand, and if that’s you, I see you. And that’s pretty much it. More updates to come soon. Thanks for listening.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
