REUTERS: Kevin Tsujihara has resigned as the head of Warner Bros as one of Hollywood's most powerful studios investigates a report that he improperly helped an actress obtain roles at the studio.
Tsujihara's departure from the AT&T Inc-owned studio follows a March 6 article in the Hollywood Reporter that said an actress had sought his help in landing roles after they had sex. "Kevin acknowledges that his mistakes are inconsistent with the company’s leadership expectations and could impact the company's ability to execute going forward," Stankey said in his statement.Stankey did not specify what mistakes Tsujihara made. Only two days before the Hollywood Reporter published its story, Tsujihara was given an expanded, more powerful role as part of a restructuring of AT&T's WarnerMedia.
Tsujihara did not address why he was leaving in the email. Earlier this month, following the Hollywood Reporter story, Tsujihara's attorney said the executive did not have a direct role in the hiring of the actress in any movie.
