Amazon.com Inc. put Roy Price, the head of its film and TV unit, on a leave of absence after a producer told the Hollywood Reporter he sexually harassed her, days after a series of similar accusations led to the ouster of Harvey Weinstein as head of the production company he co-founded.
Isa Hackett, who worked on the Amazon Prime Video show "The Man in the High Castle," told the publication that Price made inappropriate advances to her at an event two years ago. Price couldn't be reached for comment.
"Roy Price is on leave of absence effective immediately," Amazon said in a statement. Albert Cheng, chief operating officer of Amazon Studios, has been named interim head of the division, the company said in a separate email.
