To protect staffers from John Lasseter’s alleged predations, the Pixar chief was assigned a “handler to ensure he would not engage in inappropriate conduct with women, two people with direct knowledge of the situation,” told Deadline.
Deadline believes this is “evidence Disney may well have been aware of troubling behavior on the part of the digital animation pioneer.”
Lasseter is now on a six-month leave of absence following reports of inappropriate touching. The Deadline report, however, opens up a whole new series of allegations and, if true, undoubtedly proves the enabling of Lasseter was institutionalized within the Walt Disney Company:
At the animator’s insistence, Disney flew the women to a New York event. One Pixar employee became the designated escort as Lasseter took the young women out drinking one night, and to a party the following evening.
“He was inappropriate with the fairies,” said the former Pixar executive, referring to physical contact that included long hugs. “We had to have someone make sure he wasn’t alone with them.”

At what point can you dump even a very talented person and give someone who actually doesn’t sexually assault people a shot at the well paying gig?
Disney clearly prioritized talent over decent legal behavior.

Just like NBC did.
Disney clearly prioritized talent over decent legal behavior.
IOW, Disney clearly prioritized making money over decency.
snort. The only unusual part of this for Disney is that they were female fairies...
Or Pixar started.
Oh vaunted Pixar. Sacred cow.
So how far does Big Disney actually go? I didn’t realize that Pixar was under their umbrella.
I’m curious, having been offered an interview at a tech support job for Disney World. I’d actually be working for an IT company, one of those that Disney outsourced to in a widely criticized move years ago.
And yet I wonder if the arrangement saves some of what little sanity Big Disney has left. The management of the IT force doesn’t have to be ultra-looey; it can be quite conservative if it wishes. They might have driven away as much IT talent by making their management inherit the progressive whirlwind as they did by outsourcing the whole shebang. Obviously it isn’t just Indians who are being interviewed about working there. I’m not an Indian.
er jerbs...
only at Disney could someone say, “He was inappropriate with the fairies,” with a straight face. Unintentionally hilarious.
But not Chelsea.
