Andy Signore, Honest Trailers Creator, Suspended After Sexual Harassment Allegations
Defy Media has suspended Andy Signore, SVP of content and creator of Screen Junkies and the Honest Trailers parody franchise, after multiple women have come forward to publicly accuse him of sexual harassment, including one woman who alleged that Signore tried to sexually assault her.
April Dawn wrote in a Twitter post Friday that Signore tried to sexually assault me on multiple occasions and that the exec threatened to fire her boyfriend, Screen Junkies employee Josh Tapia, if she went public. According to Dawn, she has been in talks with [Defy Medias] HR [department] for the past 2 months, about Signores behavior and threats, but all theyve done is protect him.
Emma Bowers, who said she once worked for Signore as an intern at Screen Junkies, wrote on Twitter that she was inspired to come forward after the revelations this week about Harvey Weinsteins decades of sexual harassment of women. According to Bowers, Signore offered to masturbate in front of her.
