Explained: Emma Thompson (pictured in Munich, June 2018) DROPPED OUT of movie Luck because she didn't want to work with John Lasseter after his sexual harassment scandal

 

Emma Thompson pulled out of filming new animated movie Luck over concerns about working with John Lasseter.

 

Skydance Animation's CEO said the decision to hire Lasseter hadn't been 'entered into lightly' after the animator left Pixar because of a sexual harassment scandal.

 

However, a representative for Thompson, 59, confirmed to MailOnline she had dropped out 'over concerns about working with John Lasseter when Skydance hired him'.

 

A spokesperson for Thompson confirmed Emma hadn't filmed any scenes for the animated movie.

Has she really convinced herself that someone anywhere would want to sexually harass her?

If she says "I never banged for parts', I'd believe her.

Ugly since birth (aka character actress).

I think you are missing the point.

By working with him, it could be construed that she doesn't care about his actions, or, as an extreme case, even condoning them. Why risk it? She can get plenty of other work.
