“I want to say how much I respect and applaud the people that have spoken up about their experience working with Scott Rudin. It takes an enormous amount of courage and strength to stand up and state your truth.

The most important voice we needed to hear from was Scott Rudin, he has now spoken up and stepped away from the Music Man,” he said.

“I hope and pray this is a journey of healing for all the victims and the community.
