Verifiable facts to date:
1) John Lasseter is taking a leave of absence from Pixar after acknowledging "painful" conversations and unspecified "missteps."
2) The memo to his staff announcing the sabbatical coincided with The Hollywood Reporter story on his alleged misconduct.
3) The first paragraph in THR’s misconduct piece claims per their “sources” Lasseter made an unwanted advance towards Rashida Jones.
4) Today Rashida Jones denies the report John harassed her.
That’s all we know so far folks! This trial by tabloid magazines, especially when they’re first named source turns out to be total BS, is terribly cruel and unwarranted. The mindset of the stories must be true, or he wouldn’t have taken the time off, is a massive leap of condemnation, and one I hope everyone will avoid until more FACTS surface.
