Amazon exec out for vile behavior

- Rachel DeSantis

AMAZON STUDIOS head Roy Price has resigned in the wake of sexual harassment claims, a company source told the Daily News.

Amazon suspended Price five days ago, following an accusation from an executive producer that he sexually harassed her during San Diego Comic-Con in 2015.

Isa Hackett, 50, an executive producer on “Man in the High Castle,” told the Hollywood Reporter that Price, 51, lewdly propositio­ned her in a taxi. He continued that night at an Amazon party, despite her saying she was not interested, she said.Hackett said she promptly made a report to Amazon execs, who brought in an investigat­or. She said she never heard further.

The allegation comes after two dozen women accused mogul Harvey Weinstein of various sex-related offenses.
