Ex-Rocksteady dev says studio offered money after harassment complaint, but no apology

1 year 7 months ago

Former Rocksteady scriptwriter Kim MacAskill says the studio offered to pay her to resolve complaints stemming from her time with the studio, but refused to apologize for any wrongdoing.

In 2018, 10 of the 16 women working at Rocksteady reportedly co-signed a letter detailing unacceptable behavior at the studio, including sexual harassment, slurs about transgendered people, and talking about women in derogatory or sexual ways.

After the letter's existence was made public in 2020, MacAskill came forward as the author of that letter, saying she lost her job in retaliation for her role in it. She also asked for her name to be left off the credits for Rocksteady's upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
