*Taraji P. Henson has cut ties with her manager, Vincent Cirrincione, following recent claims of sexual misconduct against him, reports Variety.
Henson’s decision follows a Washington Post article that detailed allegations of sexual harassment against the manager from nine women. Henson had previously told the Post, “I’ve never had any issue with [Cirrincione] on any level. He totally respected me.”
The nine women who claim Cirrincione sexually harassed them say he promised to launch their careers in exchange for sexual favors. Multiple women also stated he would reference his role in boosting the careers of Henson and former client Halle Berry to convince them to perform the sexual acts. In a statement, Cirrincione, who has since shut down his management agency, denied the allegations.
Berry has also responded to the claims, writing in her own Instagram post, “I’m deeply hurt and I want these women and countless others to know I see you. I hear you. You matter. I will fight for you.”
In an Instagram response to the allegations on Friday, Henson wrote: “I feel saddened, disappointed and ashamed. The news about my Manager Vincent Cirrincione has shocked, hurt, and offended and yet again put professional women in a position to not trust the men they work with.”
