A source with knowledge of the Showtime series says Tiffany Boone, who played the 'Straight Outta Compton' star's girlfriend, was among several actresses on the drama who had issues with the actor.
In the wake of multiple allegations of misconduct, Straight Outta Compton star Jason Mitchell has been terminated by his agent and manager, dropped from Showtime's The Chi and from an upcoming Netflix film, Desperados.
Showtime, Netflix and Fox 21, which produces The Chi, declined to comment.
A source with knowledge of the Showtime series says Tiffany Boone, who played Mitchell's girlfriend on The Chi, was among several actresses on the series who had issues with Mitchell. She made repeated complaints of sexual harassment and allegedly felt so unsafe with her co-star that at times her fiance, Dear White People actor Marque Richardson, came to set when she shot scenes with him. Boone declined to comment.
The source also says Boone ultimately informed producers at Fox 21 that she could no longer work with Mitchell. Initially, he was retained while she was released at her request to pursue other projects. Other actresses on the series also were said to have had problems with Mitchell. It's unclear what finally led the studio to act.
Mitchell had not yet started filming Desperados, a comedy set in Mexico, when he was replaced in recent weeks by Lamorne Morris (New Girl). A source close to the project, which Lionsgate's Good Universe is producing for Netflix, says the producers received "specific information which was investigated immediately and thoroughly and dealt with as quickly as possible."
Netflix referred queries to Good Universe, which declined to comment. Sources said all three of Mitchell's co-stars on the film — Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp and Robbie Amell — had complaints about Mitchell.
Mitchell, 32, was considered a rising star, having won accolades for his performance as rapper Eazy-E in 2015's Straight Outta Compton. He also appeared in Mudbound and Detroit, and is a series regular on the Lena Waithe-created The Chi. Waithe did not respond to a request for comment.
UTA, which dropped Mitchell several weeks ago, declined to comment. A source with knowledge of the situation says the agency "made a very quick decision" to drop the actor based on multiple allegations of misconduct.

I saw this
so disappointing
not two whole incidents
So stupid
daaaaaaaaang
Oh wow
wooooooow
noooooo
loved him in SOC and that episode of Forever :stressed:
Dumb, fired faggot. and he's black so he can forget it
Columbus short never recovered
:everythingok:
:jackiessales:
Smh. Whole life trajectory just changed like that.
His character was one of the best on The Chi this the same thing that happened to the girl from that movie with Trevor Jackson. They so damn stupid
I'm so fucking annoyed.
I don't think this will effect production on The Chi that much cause they have a big cast and they all act their asses off but damn, this guy had so much promise. I was looking forward to seeing him in other things too

He might be right because I still don't know what he's done exactly. Everything is so vague.

Yeah what exactly did he do?
they're being very cagey with the language, "an incident" but then they're also saying the female cast members didn't wanna film with him? Makes it seem sexual in nature...
Yh not taking this at white face value
I'll need facts.

This idiot. What is he talking about :dead: there were multiple investigations
Girls, please :dead:
they have no reason to attack the guy. He isn't famous, nor does he have any power. The language seems pretty clear to me, and happened on multiple sets, NOT just the chi.
He's done, and rightfully so it seems.
Yea this is weird. He didn't even start filming the Desperados show and the cast had complaints about him?
all the actresses on the Chi were uncomfortable with him. What has this man been doing? :uhh:
Sounds like whatever it is has been going on for a while and gotten him a reputation on the low
He did seem kinda edgy during his breakfast club interview last year

I believe it, my point was that they're probably being vague to protect him. You know the minute you use the words "sexual harassment" your branded as some kinda deviant, even if there is no proof. I know Lena must be PISSED :uhh:

But ugh I like the character. I say recast him.
!!! Brandon is a very important character you can't just kill him
Kevin looks up to him, Emmett is working with him, he's dealing with Jerricka and her stuck up family etc
Um
they are saying her fiancé had to be there while she filmed with him because he kept trying her :uhh:

Marque. He plays Reggie.
And someone on Instagram said that Sonja Sohn (the woman that plays his mother) had issues with him too. Not sure how true that is though.
Is that why she left? Not him making moves on that old woman

Anyway ..
they need to hire a stronger mother figure and her son to fill this space..
someone compelling and great
immediately Mama Pope comes to mind..
she killed the corner .. I think the show could use a drug addict mother with kids that are tryna go to college, make music and do better for themselves
the show hasn't made me cry or really be emotional since coogie died
bring Mama Pope in
^Yes Glock. This means they add some talented up and coming actors, which is Lena's thing anyway.
