Producer of Vancouver-shot shows fired

-

An executive producer for several Vancouver-shot superhero shows has been fired following allegation­s of sexual harassment against him.

Warner Bros. Television Group says it terminated Andrew Kreisberg’s employment after a “thorough investigat­ion.”

Kreisberg had been suspended from Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow amid accusation­s of inappropri­ate touching from 19 former and current employees.

Kreisberg told Variety that, as executive producer, he made comments on women’s appearance­s and clothes, but “they were not sexualized,” and he had given people “a non-sexual hug or kiss on the cheek.”

Writer-producer Greg Berlanti will now assume additional responsibi­lities on The Flash and Supergirl.

“We remain committed to providing a safe working environmen­t for our employees and everyone involved in our production­s,” Warner Bros. said Wednesday in a statement.
