A production assistant, Ijaaz Noohu, files a lawsuit accusing the showrunner of Amazon MGM’s upcoming series “Criminal,” Ed Brubaker, of creating a hostile work environment. The complaint alleges that Noohu experienced sexual and racial harassment on set and includes claims described by outlets as involving assault, along with other allegations. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
Variety and The Hollywood Reporter both report that Noohu brings the case against Brubaker and the production entities involved in the series, including Amazon MGM Studios and Big Indie Pictures. While both outlets align on the core allegations—sexual and racial harassment tied to the “Criminal” production—their descriptions differ in emphasis and detail, with one outlet highlighting the hostile work environment and the other also specifically referencing claims characterized as assault. Neither outlet in the reported material attributes wrongdoing to Brubaker or the companies, and the cases’ allegations are presented as claims made in the filing rather than established findings.
