Shamed boss quits Amazon

-

THE boss of Amazon’s TV and film branch has resigned over allegation­s he harassed Anna Friel.

Roy Price is said to have left the British actress, 41, so distressed at last year’s Edinburgh TV festival that she fled. Amazon suspended Price last week following two other complaints.

It confirmed he has quit Amazon Studios but declined to comment or say if he received a pay-off. Price was accused of making sexual comments to producer Isa Hackett, 50, as they shared a taxi and later shouted a sexual obscenity at her at an Amazon party in 2015.

Miss Friel declined to comment yesterday. Last week actress Rose McGowan told Amazon founder Jeff Bezos that Price had ignored her complaints of rape against Weinstein.
