Bryan Fuller is known for his work on the hit show Hannibal. On Wednesday, a case was filed against him, and in it, disturbing claims of sexual harassment were made.
The claim says that Fuller did some disturbing things to a co-producer on an AMC documentary series about queer horror.
Fuller is accused of making the workplace hostile by making constant comments to masturbation and bullying people in a casual way.
Sam Wineman, who is also out as gay, says that Fuller repeatedly held him from behind to “crack his back,” a painful practice in which Fuller pressed his genitalia against Wineman’s bottom.
In the case that Sam Wineman filed against Bryan Fuller, he claims that Fuller did some disturbing things while they were working on a docuseries project together.
Wineman says in the case that he was kicked off the project in August 2021, about four weeks after he told Fuller he didn’t like how he was acting.
Also, the claim says that Fuller left inappropriate things on Wineman’s desk, like lubricant and used tissues, to send a disturbing message.
In addition to these very worrying claims, Fuller is also said to have bullied Wineman by calling him names like “weak,” “lacks charisma,” and “drier than NPR,” among other things.
Executive producers on the show are said to have protected Fuller from the consequences of his actions, saying that he was “the money” and that it was important to keep him happy.
