Bobby Kotick allegations are about suppressing s3xual harassment cases in the company rather than taking action against it.
While the protests are being carried on at a wide scale, Kotick has not resigned from his position yet at the time of writing this.
Surprisingly, the board responded by saying that they have confidence in the CEO and seems like they are backing him instead.
There are allegations that Kotick not only knew the whole s3xual misconduct including an alleged r@pe but he also minimized its severity to the employees and BOD.
The incident of s3xual assault dates back to 2017 when a female employee accused the co-head Dan Bunting of s3xual harassment.
Wall Street Journal further mentions that Bobby canceled the firing of Dan even though he was found guilty of the misconduct by an investigation in the company.
Now that many such happenings are being opened up, Kotick has a tough time ahead.
It is not the only time that his name has emerged in cases relating to s3xual harassment though.
His Wikipedia also mentions a time in 2007 when the former actress Cynthia Madvig filed a lawsuit alleging s3xual harassment against Kotick’s business partner Gordon.
She was hired as a flight attendant and was harassed s3xually by Gordon. When she reported it to Bobby, he fired her rather than taking action against Gordon.
They settled for a compensation of $200000 outside of legal charges of $475k after going through several complications.
