NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on sexual harassment in entertainment (all times local):
3:30 p.m.
Playboy Enterprises is shelving all projects it has with Brett Ratner — including a biopic of founder Hugh Hefner — following allegations by six women that the director and producer sexual harassed and assaulted them.
Playboy says in a statement Wednesday that it's "deeply troubled" by the allegations which Ratner's attorney says the director denies.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Ratner sexually harassed and assaulted six women, including actress Olivia Munn.
Jared Leto was expected to play Hefner in the film co-produced by RatPac Entertainment, which was formed by investor James Packer and Ratner.
