Former X-Men '97 lead Beau DeMayo maintains 'false' allegations are 'a smear campaign,' claims 'near-criminal working conditions at Marvel'

Former 'X-Men '97' lead Beau DeMayo posted a lengthy video about his Marvel firing, claiming the allegations of misconduct are 'false' and part of 'a smear campaign' to discredit him.

DeMayo allegedly notified this team member that a person involved with the show was having "a potentially exploitative sexual relationship with a PA," but said they apparently buried the report and instead colluded with the individual in question to discredit him. "It is wrong for Marvel execs to roll their eyes when I raised concerns about being bullied and targeted on account of my identity and tell me to deal with it because these individuals are talented," DeMayo said, adding that he was painted by top brass as difficult to work with for advocating on behalf of X-Men fans and adapting the comics authentically. DeMayo said he was fired and his X-Men '97 season 2 position was "aggressively marginalized," which he claimed happened after he reported to the studio that someone involved in the project made a racist comment about needing to "crack the whip."
