Okay. But this is the problem.
Sometimes being a jerk or an ass is a tactic to get the best out of your people.
Sometimes being a jerk or an ass is just because you're a jerk and an ass.
TV/Film is a lot like sports, you have a limited time-frame to get the best out of your people. If you feel they'll respond best to hating you and delivering their best performances just to spite you then...thats your job.
Its wildly imperfect. Its not like working in an office. But I'm not seeing any Sexual Abuse in this case.
He was a jerk. He was a terrible boss to work for. Maybe that was to generate some motivation, maybe he's just a jerk. But in the grand scheme of things....he was just a dick to work for.
There are worse things. We've all had terrible bosses.
