As we reported over the weekend, Eliza Dushku wrote a lengthy blog post on Facebook in which she revealed that she was molested by stunt coordinator Joel Kramer during the filming of True Lies in the early 90s. She was twelve years old at the time, while he was 36. Kramer went on to deny the accusations, but that hasn’t stopped the backlash.

Deadline reports that Worldwide Production Agency has dropped Kramer as a client following the accusation. Since making the claims, Dushku’s story has been verified by her legal guardian on the set, her former agent JoAnne Colonna, her mother, her brother and a longtime friend.

WPA president and general counsel Richard Caleel said in a statement: “WPA has elected to part ways with Joel Kramer based on the allegations of misconduct now being reported. Such behavior is unacceptable and entirely at odds with the the standards of conduct we demand of ourselves, and expect from our clients.

Kramer has worked on several action movies over the years, working as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s body double. His credits include Terminator 2, Eraser, Blade Runner 2049, Star Trek Discovery and Westworld.
