Cary Fukunaga accused of inappropriate conduct on set and “grooming” young women
No Time To Die director Cary Fukunaga has been accused of inappropriate workplace behaviour and “abuse of power” on multiple sets.In a report on Rolling Stone, anonymous sources from the production of Apple TV+ series Masters Of The Air, directed by Fukunaga, claim he was involved in an “absolute, clear-cut abuse of power” while working with young women.It also claims the director used his sets as an opportunity to pursue sexual relationships with female cast and crew members.Fukunaga has denied the claims, with his attorney Michael Plonsker issuing a statement which reads: “There is nothing salacious about pursuing friendships or consensual romantic relationships with women.”He added that “no one ever – not once – voiced such sentiments to” him, and “he creates a work environment that is creative, collaborative and welcoming to all.”NME has reached out to Fukunaga’s representatives for further comment.Earlier this month, 23-year-old actress Rachel Vinberg posted on social media numerous pictures with Fukunaga, who she met when she was 18. In the posts, she claimed Fukunaga is a “groomer” who “traumatises” women.“I spent years of being scared of him,” Vinberg wrote on Instagram Stories.
