"Stranger Things" star Finn Wolfhard has fired his agent, Tyler Grasham, after his former client claimed he was sexually abused.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the agent faces a string of allegations of sexual assault and acting inappropriately with young aspiring male actors, including actor-turned-filmmaker Blaise Godbe Lipman.
Grasham, who works for APA, is currently on leave from the company, pending an internal investigation.
"APA takes these allegations extremely seriously and is investigating this matter," an agency spokesperson said.
The allegations were first brought to light as part of the "#MeToo" social media campaign, which looked to provide a platform for stories of sexual assault and harassment.
It is under the hashtag that Lipman first alleged that he had been assaulted by a prominent Hollywood agent, though he initially declined to name Grasham.
After the allegations, Grasham has set his Instagram to private and deleted his Facebook account.
As for Wolfhard, he is yet to sign with a new agency.
