Writer Max Landis Accused Of Rape, Sexual Assault & Psychological Abuse!

Screenwriter, Max Landis is facing allegations of sexual abuse, rape, and psychological manipulation from eight women, who narrated their stories to Daily Beast.

According to a report in Variety, Two of the women spoke on the record, and another five were identified by pseudonyms. An eighth woman confirmed that she filed a police complaint against Landis in 2008, in which she alleged that he had sexually assaulted her while she was drunk and incapacitated. The case was later dropped.

Three of the women alleged that Landis choked them. One woman alleged that Landis held her down and raped her, and would deliberately humiliate her. Two more women described accounts of alleged sexual misconduct on movie sets.

Landis is best known for serving as a writer for Chronicle, Bright, American Ultra and Victor Frankestein among other works.

Ani Baker told the Daily Beast that she dated Landis for a while and then tried to end the relationship. She says that he continued to pressure her and coerced her into maintaining a sexual relationship. At one point, she says Landis became enraged when she playfully slapped his rear end.

“He turned around and he put his hands around my throat and he got very close to my face and he said, ‘I will f—ing kill you. Do you understand what I’m saying? I will f—ing kill you,'” she told the publication.

“Chronicle” director Josh Trank posted on Twitter that he banned Landis from the set of the 2012 sci-fi film and that he “100% believe[s] every word of this article.”

“To read about the terror he’s inflicted on so many women since then makes me sick to my stomach'', he added.
