Canadian child star Finn Wolfhard has officially left a Los Angeles-based talent agency after his representative was accused of sexually assaulting a teenager.
Agent Tyler Grasham was first called out by filmmaker and ex-child star, Blaise Godbe Lipman, in a #MeToo letter shared to Facebook and Instagram Monday.
‘The Office’ actor wrote alongside the viral hashtag #MeToo: ‘Tyler Grasham, under the pretense of a business meeting regarding potential agency representation at APA Agency, fed me alcohol while I was underage and sexually assaulted me.
‘APA Agency has kept this man employed, working with kid actors. I find it incredibly difficult to believe they do not know of his predatory behavior, using his position within the company to prey on naive kids,’ Lipman said in the post.
The filmmaker later shared further details on the shocking revelation, confirming it was written by him, while speaking in an interview with Deadline.
Lipman said he was about to turn 18 one summer the agent got him ‘drunk at a meeting to talk about business.’
He added: ‘We were at his apartment when he got on top of me and fondled me. I pushed him off without trying to upset him.
‘It was a very precarious position to be in, not to insult someone who was in a position of power.’
