Former X-Men ’97 Showrunner Alleges Discriminatory Dismissal by Marvel
Beau DeMayo, the former showrunner of Marvel Studios' animated series X-Men ’97, said he was dismissed after an internal investigation that he described as discriminatory. He told ComicBookMovie. com that the termination occurred shortly before the launch of season two and that he is pursuing a lawsuit against the studio. DeMayo also disclosed that he earns income on the adult-content platform OnlyFans. In an interview with A.
V. Club, he reiterated that the firing stemmed from bias he experienced at Disney-Marvel. Marvel, citing findings of misconduct and a breach of DeMayo's separation agreement, said in a statement reported by Deadline that the dismissal was justified. The studio added that the removal of his credit was based on those findings, not on any alleged discrimination.
