Amazon MGM Studios has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Ijaaz Noohu, a production assistant on the upcoming series Criminal. The lawsuit, filed two weeks ago, claims that Noohu was subjected to racial and sexual harassment on the set. Amazon MGM argues that one of the central allegations—that the showrunner pointed a gun at him—is "pure invention" and not based on any factual events. Noohu’s lawsuit includes multiple claims, including that he was exposed to a hostile work environment, faced racial slurs, and was sexually harassed by multiple individuals on the production team. He also alleges that the showrunner, whose name has not been disclosed in court documents, pointed a gun at him during an argument. Amazon MGM disputes this claim, asserting that it never occurred and is entirely fabricated. The motion to dismiss highlights Amazon MGM’s position that the lawsuit lacks sufficient evidence to support the allegations made. The company has not commented publicly on the case but has emphasized its commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace. The legal battle is expected to continue as both sides prepare for further court proceedings. This case has drawn attention from industry observers and advocacy groups focused on workplace safety and accountability in Hollywood. While Amazon MGM has taken a firm stance against the allegations, the outcome of the case will depend on the evidence presented in court. The lawsuit is part of a broader conversation about the prevalence of harassment in the entertainment industry and the challenges faced by workers in seeking justice.
