X-MEN '97: Shocking New Details Emerge About Beau DeMayo's Alleged Sexual Misconduct Working On Marvel Series

We finally have some specifics regarding former X-Men '97 Head Writer Beau DeMayo's alleged sexual misconduct while working on the Disney+ series along with a response from his lawyer. Check it out...

It's been a wild 24 hours for X-Men '97 fans. When Head Writer Beau DeMayo, who was fired from the series in March, suggested his name was removed from season 2's credits for posting LGBTQ+-themed fan art, Marvel Studios hit back with a scathing statement of its own.

The trades alluded to the "egregious nature" of his behaviour being alleged sexual misconduct. However, it's Jeff Sneider who has decided to elaborate on what reportedly happened during DeMayo's time in charge of the show.

It's claimed that DeMayo sent nude photos of himself in sexually suggestive "hero" poses to several young male staffers working on X-Men '97. His excuse was that they could be used as "inspiration" for the animated series (DeMayo also runs a non-explicit OnlyFans account which is previously said to have upset Disney). 

The Head Writer was told to stop sending these photos but allegedly continued. Sneider also claims that DeMayo groped an assistant on multiple occasions and was considered emotionally and physically abusive towards staffers. 

More details can be found at The Insneider, and it appears DeMayo has chosen this as his hill to die on. Here's what his lawyer Bryan Freedman told Deadline earlier today:

"Having much experience with Disney, the playbook is always the same. Family friendly on the outside, but secretly attempting to plant illegal unconscionable items in contracts that silence the truth and stop the employee/customer from asserting basic constitutional rights. As we will explain through detailed examples which we will roll out in detail one by one, Disney’s model is very clear and a repetitive illegal pattern."

"Once it gets challenged or exposed, the gaslighting and redirection of the blame toward anyone willing to tell the truth starts through an international well oiled publicity machine. The problem for Disney is that when they go up against someone who has concrete evidence of this happening over 100 times, many of which have led to them settling hundreds of cases if not thousands to try and continue to control critics, employees and even lawyers who sue them."

"The problem for them is that I have the evidence and clients willing to be truthful and they know it. These are actually facts not argument or conjecture. Over the next few months, with the brave help of those who have been illegally silenced, retaliated for simply telling the truth and then destroyed for it, one by one this bullying and illegal conduct will be exposed to the government."

"Beau DeMayo wants nothing from Marvel/Disney except the truth. He will bravely tell the truth. So will I. Stand by."

Stay tuned for additional updates on this developing story as we have them.

@WakandaTech - gay/happy to send out nude photos! Guess the LGBTQ+ community gets a pardon for being different from regular people.
Disney started it. Wanted to share they're not uptight but then shuts down an employee who "supposedly sent inappropriate photos. B.S. at it's finest.

@nhoj3 - Disney is evil, but one thing has nothing to do with the other. Doesn't negate that DeMayo could also be a creepy predator.

@nhoj3 - dude, they are bad as covering up stuff and doing damage control as good as the lying U.S. government and all bank & and big businesses in this country.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 8/16/2024, 4:06 PM
@TheRogue - that's a good point. If he was innocent...someone would come out and defend him.

@nhoj3 - the company that can legally kill your spouse against the guy who sends his nudes without being asked, who will you side with?

lazlodaytona - 8/16/2024, 6:02 PM
@nhoj3 - D-world definitely holds up a strong front with plenty of legal jargon to make anyone look bad if they cross them.

@dracula - I lived in atlanta and studied film one of my first real productions i worked on was a show called devious maids on lifetime (which is owned by abc studios which disney owns) when i signed my contract i didnt read it but my buddy did there is alot of truth to what the lawyer is saying there are clauses my friend said that said like we cant speak about disney negatively or disparage them for the rest of our life just as apart of the crew so i could only imagine what they've been able to sneak in contracts since because this was like 20-30 plus pages and i was only a production assistant on that show for like 2 seasons...Not saying the beau stuff couldnt be true too but saying from my own life experiece the stuff the lawyer is saying about them siliencing workers through their contracts is definitely 100 percent true

If the allegations of him sending nudes to younger staff members are true, he got what he deserved

Being LGBT doesn't make that not sexual harassment

@dracula - preace, sexual misconduct is sexual misconduct whether you are gay or not. This is ugly regardless

@dracula - is this an argument anyone has tried to make?
dracula
dracula - 8/16/2024, 4:13 PM
@ferf - kind of feels like it when the defense against allegations like this is sometimes just claims of homophobia

@ferf - I take it you missed numerous comments on here when the Xmen 97 show was going on to "free" this dude...and "rehire" this dude.I'll leave out the twitter nuts on the subject...because we'll you don't expect clear thought from that place.

@valmic - probably why GUNN jumped to DC to get away from some of the background stuff too that M-v-world has gotten 95% great at hiding.
DC has it too, but decided to clean house to clear the slate. Marvel wouldn't have the balls for that.

@lazlodaytona - people already ripped through Gunn’s past and he was fired the rehired. His questionable public sense of humor was A. A long ass time ago/ he was not working for the MCU ar the same time that he was posting dipshit over the top shit. B. The Halloween costume, that shit could had been in an American pie movie. Comedies back then were… a lot of it is unwatchable now. But times change and hopefully people make the right choices and change with the times . A good example of that is when the civil rights act was passed for instance. . All that aside this guy was doing shit that anyone who works corporate could get fired for and he was warned but kept sending pics. Apparently they were just shirtless pics, but if you work any corporate job and you are told to stop doing something and you don’t, you’re gonna get a couple of warnings if you’re lucky and then get canned if you don’t cut the shit. When it comes to something like Disney Isra even more important because shity behavior can damage the brand. If he had just cut the shit when he was asked to then none of us would even be talking about this. He had a good well laying gig, he should have repeated that and played the game just like everyone else does.

@SDCA27 - sorry about the typos :)
lazlodaytona
lazlodaytona - 8/17/2024, 9:55 AM
@SDCA27 - no worries bro. i do not disagree with you and don't apologize for typos .....

auto correct is getting so bad you (us) yourself have to correct 'auto-correct.'

It's just hard for me to see a GIANT corporation go against a single person who probably didn't get paid sh1t like the history of Marvel VFX people who were treated horrible and it was exposed as the truth.

Maybe he did something we don't know yet. But a company like Marvel/Disney will eviscerate anyone who slightly bends the corporate way to show they accept everyone racially and the LGBTQ+ community, which i support both (I hate racism) just to show they accept the world to gain a buck or too. It's fine naturally (like Killing Eve, Brokeback Mountain), but Disney makes it an overtly pursue of placing that in tv and film pushing it down our throats.

I just want life to be normal and naturally good for everyone.

What a pervert. Good riddance. Assuming Schneider is correct, I hope everything is disclosed very publicly. Horny bitch just couldn’t keep it in his pants.

lazlodaytona - 8/16/2024, 4:03 PM
@Dotanuki - 'good riddance'.... a cowardly statement.
You have no idea what's true more than any of us do. Corporations like, oh...the F***ing United States government does this to the American people EVERY DAY.

@lazlodaytona - I think it's safe to assume that there was an implied "if the allegations are true" in there somewhere.
Dotanuki
Dotanuki - 8/16/2024, 4:15 PM
@lazlodaytona - settle down. Of course it’s if the allegations are true. I don’t even understand the rest of your rant. The U.S. govt is sexually harassing people everyday?!
lazlodaytona
lazlodaytona - 8/16/2024, 6:10 PM
@Dotanuki - ask bill clinton, jfk, or any dirty republican for that answer. there's so much corruption in politics you'd be an idiot blind fool not to see it has gone on for like, ever.
