Orphan Black Star Jordan Gavaris Accuses Agent Tyler Grasham of Harassment
He's the latest star to come out with allegations against the disgraced agent.
Last week, 14-year-old Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard and Disney actor Cameron Boyce made headlines for leaving the AFA talent agency after one of their agents, Tyler Grasham, was fired for allegedly sexually assaulting and harassing several young men, including filmmaker and former child star Blaise Godbe Lipman and film editor Lucas Ozarowski.
As Lipman detailed in a Facebook post as part of the #MeToo campaign, Grasham fed him alcohol when he was 18 back in 2007 before allegedly sexually assaulting him, while Ozarowski claimed he was also assaulted and harassed over text message by Grasham after the assault.
