Due to a number of accusations, Chris Avellone became a formidable sexual predator overnight and cancellation followed. He did not give up and went to court
A few years ago, Chris Avellone was accused of misconduct and cancelled. He did not accept this, gathered his strength and began to fight back – he consistently exposed the false accusations, went to court.
In March 2023, it was announced that the differences had been settled. Litigation began in 2021.
Chris Avellone released a joint statement with girls who accused him of harassment.
«Mr. Avellone never molested us. We don’t know anything about him ever molesting other women. We are not aware that Avellone ever misused corporate funds. Everything that we have previously said or written about Avellone in the opposite way [якобы он транжирит средства компании и домогатель], was not our intention. We wanted to support women in the industry. In doing so, our words were misinterpreted, [словно это конкретные обвинения в неправомерных действиях]. We are committed to the safety, protection, and representation of women, minorities, LGBTQIA+, and all other communities that face harassment in the video game industry. We believe that Avellone shares [нашли взгляды]. We believe he deserves a full-fledged return to the industry and support him in this endeavour.».
The settlement provides for a seven-figure sum, including Avellone’s attorney’s fees.
