According to Deadline, Straight Outta Compton star Jason Mitchell has been dismissed from the upcoming third season of Showtime’s The Chi and the upcoming Netflix movie Desperados, in addition to losing his representation at UTA, owing to “allegations of inappropriate behavior.†The Kong: Skull Island actor was reportedly dismissed from the film after Desperados producers “received information about an alleged off-set incident†that occurred during production of the film, which co-stars Nasim Pedrad and Anna Camp.
Desperados’ production company Good Universe, as well as UTA and management company Authentic Talent & Literary Management, confirmed to Deadline that they are no longer working with Mitchell, but declined to comment any further on the allegations themselves.
