Scott Rudin Says Most of the Allegations Against Him Were ‘True’: I ‘Own’ My ‘Bad Behavior’

Scott Rudin has publicly apologized for his “bone-headed” and “narcissistic” behavior as a producer, four years after being effectively canceled in 2021. Rudin, who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and 18 Tony Awards, was accused by several former staffers in a June 2021 Hollywood Reporter piece of allegedly abusing them. Details included Rudin allegedly smashing a computer on an assistant’s hand and throwing objects at employees.
After the report, Rudin announced that he would be taking a step back from his projects, including his slated producing credits for five A24 films such as Joel Coen’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” The Daniels’ “Everywhere All at Once,” and Alex Garland’s “Men.” Rudin said in 2021 that he was going to “take the time to work on personal issues I should have long ago.”
Now, Rudin is returning to Broadway and “owning” his mistakes. “A lot of what was said was true.
