The organization has, like many others, taken strides to reconcile with sexual abuses in the film industry, but the latest allegations hit much closer home: Academy President John Bailey is reportedly under investigation for multiple claims of sexual harassment.
On Wednesday, the Academy received three sexual harassment claims against Bailey and immediately launched an investigation.
Bailey, a cinematographer whose credits include The Big Chill and Groundhog Day, is the subject of multiple sexual harassment claims.
Variety reports that the Academy has launched an internal investigation into the 75-year-old Bailey, who was elected president of the organization last August.
