Sexual harassment claims are beginning to pile up against Roy Price, the former head of Amazon Studios, according to a new report Wednesday.
The latest involve Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon allegedly being asked if they would be willing to “show their t*ts,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Price officially resigned from Amazon on Tuesday, just five days removed from being placed on a leave of absence after a TV producer says he told her, “you’ll love my d*ck.”
While Amazon Studios was preparing to bid for developmental rights to the TV series “Little Big Lies” starring Kidman and Witherspoon, Price was interested in if they were willing to do nude scenes and “show their t*ts.”
In the end, HBO won the bidding war, reaching a network deal with the show.
Roy Price and fellow embattled film producer Harvey Weinstein seemed to have both a business and personal relationship. Actress Rose McGowan, who says she was raped by Weinstein, sent a string of tweets to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos last week alleging his former employee refused to believe her allegations of rape. It’s unclear if Price is the “head of the studio” McGowan was referring to.
1) @jeffbezos I told the head of your studio that HW raped me. Over & over I said it. He said it hadn’t been proven. I said I was the proof.

2) @jeffbezos I had already sold a script I wrote to your studio, it was in development. When I heard a Weinstein bailout was in the works

3) @Jeffbezos I forcefully begged studio head to do the right thing. I was ignored. Deal was done. Amazon won a dirty Oscar.

Will Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the second richest man in the entire world, take action? Only time will tell.
But, thanks to brave victims willing to relive and share their darkest life experiences with the world, we could be watching Hollywood’s culture of sexual exploitation being demolished in real-time.
