Amazon Studios has confirmed that Heather Schuster, its head of unscripted programming, has exited the company after less than one year in the role.

The company has not commented beyond that, but it's believed Schuster's departure comes after an investigation into 'verbally abusive behavior,' according to Variety.

It's rumored that Schuster made inappropriate comments during meetings, and allegations were made about possible misuse of power, Deadline reported.

Sauce for the gander. Is this person even a biological woman??

[Nifster]

Exactly. People need to behave better

From the comments section:

“She looks just like the guy she replaced!”

its head of unscripted programming

When I saw the line unscripted programming in relation to a company known for its website and cloud storage, I immediately thought of some of the old object based computer programming languages based on gui interfaces. (LOGO, Microsoft Visual languages, etc.). Then I realized they were talking about TV shows... sheesh!

I was holding out hope that she was hot so I could pronounce her not guilty...HOWEVER...

[pepsi_junkie]

Hire someone who’s obviously crazy and ... go figure ... she does crazy stuff. Who would have thought that an angry butch lesbian would be a meanie?

[Obadiah]

Is that Tim Cook’s twin brother?

[PLMerite]

If that’s a genetic female, she’s sure channeling a man very well.

[Paladin2]

WOW!

[minnesota_bound]

YES! that is his brother! : )
Very funny!

[Noumenon]

Yikes! As Michael Savage puts it, “a mean-faced, clip-haired leftty”.

That’s a dude ... you’re talkin’ to a TRANNY!

[Zhang Fei]

Not ugly, just not female like.

[TADSLOS]

Unscripted Indeed.

“Schuster also worked on “The Apprentice,” which allowed then-real estate mogul Donald Trump to become a household name.”

[LostPassword]

Women being treated as equals of their male peers. Who can complain?
