For them to completely suspend shooting means it had to be really, really serious. I wonder what happened?

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah for it to go from complaint, to investigations, to complete suspension implies that something big happened.

[vibeology_e]

Yep. I’m worried something horrible happened.

“Late last week, we were made aware of a complaint, and we immediately looked into it. After reviewing the circumstances, it has been decided that production cannot continue at this time.”

This sounds pretty serious especially if they are calling out to everyone that it is related to a complaint. They were halfway through production too

this is just me inferring here but i also wonder if part of it is aziz ansari and knowing the complaint wasn't about him, but with his past, i'm pretty sure he's pr-savvy enough to know that if he continued despite some type of harassment complaint and it eventually got out, his "comeback" plans would be destroyed

this is what i was going to say. im sure they are being extra careful with the PR around this
