We're all speculating bruh. Calm down it ain't that serious. I hope its a misunderstanding. I like his work.

Yeah, that looks like the 2016 incident referenced in the original post. It wasn't this.
I don't know what it was you don't just get dropped like that by your reps. It's one thing to get fired and lose a couple of gigs, it's another for agency and management to bail on you.
Damn that’s fucked up
Damn what this nigga do to get stripped of everything? That’s wild.
Yeah but you hear about some people doing it and ending up marrying the same chic down the road. It just plays out different for some people.
Damn, Me too got him. 
A source with knowledge of the Showtime series says Tiffany Boone, who played the 'Straight Outta Compton' star's girlfriend, was among several actresses on the drama who had issues with the actor.
In the wake of multiple allegations of misconduct, Straight Outta Compton star Jason Mitchell has been terminated by his agent and manager, dropped from Showtime’s The Chi and from an upcoming Netflix film, Desperados.
Showtime, Netflix and Fox 21, which produces The Chi, declined to comment.

A source with knowledge of the Showtime series says Tiffany Boone, who played Mitchell’s girlfriend on The Chi, was among several actresses on the series who had issues with Mitchell. She made repeated complaints of sexual harassment and allegedly felt so unsafe with her co-star that at times her fiance, Dear White People actor Marque Richardson, came to set when she shot scenes with him. Boone declined to comment.
The source also says Boone ultimately informed producers at Fox 21 that she could no longer work with Mitchell. Initially, he was retained while she was released at her request to pursue other projects. Other actresses on the series also were said to have had problems with Mitchell. It’s unclear what finally led the studio to act.
Mitchell had not yet started filming Desperados, a comedy set in Mexico, when he was replaced in recent weeks by Lamorne Morris (New Girl). A source close to the project, which Lionsgate’s Good Universe is producing for Netflix, says the producers received “specific information which was investigated immediately and thoroughly and dealt with as quickly as possible.”
Netflix referred queries to Good Universe, which declined to comment. Sources said all three of Mitchell’s co-stars on the film — Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp and Robbie Amell — had complaints about Mitchell.
Mitchell, 32, was considered a rising star, having won accolades for his performance as rapper Eazy-E in 2015’s Straight Outta Compton. He also appeared in Mudbound and Detroit, and is a series regular on the Lena Waithe-created The Chi. Waithe did not respond to a request for comment.
UTA, which dropped Mitchell several weeks ago, declined to comment. A source with knowledge of the situation says the agency “made a very quick decision” to drop the actor based on multiple allegations of misconduct.

I'm never fighting again. If someone hits me I'm gonna flop to the ground like vlade divac or LeBron James. It does me no good to fight back and defend myself. I don't care if the person is a small is Diane from blackish oh, I'm hitting the ground
I don't know if this is what caused it, but him losing everything because a female can't control their temper? I firmly believe if you don't want to get hit, don't hit. And before today, anyone who hit me will get the full Mike Tyson treatment, not anymore
This probably isn't the reason he lost all his gigs. I saw a post of some sexual harassment shit. Damn. I guess he's not going to be in straight outta Compton 2
Have you ever flirted with a chic? There’s always a sign she gives you,if she likes it. He didn’t take the hint to scram
The previous thing about the hotel incident is from 2016. Has to be unrelated. Completely different from today
Being a black dude, I hate to see black people fuck up chances at success because they're doing dumb shit. Sexual harassment or whatever he's doing ain't shit that's taken lightly
This’s my home girl. Pride of Bmore. I’m feeling like I should be putting foot to ass.
Exactly, from being a relative nobody in 2015 to having SSOOOOO many opportunities and doors open.....
And to blow it on flirting / sexual harassment......
there are literally thousands of nice looking women hat would date / fuck... just off the fact he was in a movie on tv. How he doesn't know this is beyond me.... Chasing forbidden fruit / chicks already dating other cats.... For what?!
no one has footage?
Do you have a source for this?

Ok these are the three that reported the sexual misconduct from the Netflix production. So...
Nasim Pedrad
Anna Camp
Robbie Amell
Wow! Smh
Sexual misconduct.
The chick who was his girl on the show had her fiance come on set whenever she had to film with Mitchell for protection.
They let her out of her contract for Season 3. They didn't do anything to Mitchell at the time which was months ago. Wasn't til this new production with Netflix, the company let him go immediately after the many allegations.

EXCLUSIVE: Rising star actor Jason Mitchell (The Chi, Straight Outta Compton) is facing a career crisis over allegations of inappropriate behavior. The specifics are sketchy, but I hear the accusations were so serious they have led to Mitchell being dropped by his agency, UTA; management company, Authentic Talent & Literary Management; a Netflix movie he had been cast in as a lead, Desperados; and the successful Showtime drama he stars in, The Chi.
I hear the dismissal from dramedy Desperados, a Good Universe production for Netflix, came first. I hear the decision was made after the producers had received information about an alleged off-set incident. The incident was investigated immediately and thoroughly, leading to Mitchell’s termination from Desperados, in which he was to star opposite Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp and Robbie Amell.

'The Chi' Renewed For Season 3 By Showtime
A rep for Good Universe confirmed Mitchell has left the movie, declining further comment.
Mitchell was also quickly fired by UTA and Authentic. (Reps for both companies confirmed to Deadline that Mitchell is no longer a client but would not comment further.)
I hear word of the incident involving the actor then reached producers of Showtime drama The Chi, recently picked up for a third season, on which Mitchell plays a lead. In light of the seriousness of the allegations, I hear the studio, Fox 21 TV Studios, opted not to pick up Mitchell’s option for next season.
Reps for Fox 21 and Showtime confirmed to Deadline that Mitchell would not continue on The Chi beyond its current second season, declining further comment. I hear the actor had previously been under scrutiny over an alleged inappropriate behavior situation on the show involving a female co-star, which had been resolved.
Mitchell, an in-demand actor following his breakout role in Straight Outta Compton,was investigated for assault in 2016 when a woman publicly accused him of slamming her to the ground in a Boston hotel.
On the Lena Waithe-created The Chi, Mitchell plays Brandon, a popular young man striving to better himself and open his own restaurant. Season 2 spotlights Brandon’s ambitious plan for his food truck business. For his role on the show, Mitchell is nominated for MTV Movie & TV Awards in the Best Performance In a Show category.
In addition to his role as Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton, which earned him the African American Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, Mitchell also starred in Kong: Skull Island and appeared in Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit,Mudbound and The Mustang.
Attempts by Deadline to reach Mitchell for comment through representatives were unsuccessful.

Amid reported allegations of inappropriate behavior, Jason Mitchell has been dropped by the Showtime series The Chi, the upcoming Netflix movie Desperados, and his agency and management team.
The 32-year-old actor, who broke out playing the late rapper Eazy-E in 2015’s Straight Outta Compton, was the de facto lead as Brandon on The Chi, Lena Waithe’s drama about life on the South Side of Chicago. Showtime confirmed to EW on Monday that Mitchell will not be returning for the recently announced third season, but declined to comment further.
Netflix also confirmed that Mitchell will no longer appear in the romantic comedy Desperados, and both United Talent Agency and Authentic Talent & Literary Management confirmed that they no longer represent Mitchell. The three companies declined to comment further.
According to Deadline, which first reported the news, Mitchell’s career setbacks stem from “allegations of inappropriate behavior” and an “alleged off-set incident.” Mitchell has not publicly addressed the situation.
After earning praise for his performance in Compton, Mitchell went on to big-screen roles in Keanu, Mudbound, and Kong: Skull Island, while also appearing on The Chi and the most memorable episode of Amazon’s Forever. Just last week, his work on The Chi earned him an MTV Movie & TV Award nominationfor Best Performance in a Show.
Mitchell will presumably continue to appear in the already completed second season of The Chi, which airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime.

Damn....who's gonna get the food truck?
Guys starting to look like an habitual fuck up. Thats unfortunate. Young brother made it and seems to have thrown it all away.
Sounds like this nigga has no professionalism or he did at one point and lost it since.
Show up let your performance speak for itself.
Shouldn't be that difficult for a celebrity of his stature to attract women on set he is attracted to.
This is what happens when you let lame niggas get fame they don't know how to manage the responsibility and end up reverting to their old habits just worse because of the fame.

damn shame... but if this bruh was cryin over a fuckin plane seat like a lil child..
then he must have a loaded gun to his head right now over this shit..
he I dont know what bruh is going through like he was sayin on the plane..
I just know hollywood seems to thrive off of building bruhs up, then pulling the rug from underneath them when they least expect it..
yea like dudes were sayin he was a crucial part to the chi, I wonder if he was lettin it get to his head..
damn shame first John Singleton gone from Snowfall.. now this....

I don't know how they are going to remove Brandon from the show. He's right in the middle of everything and everybody. The writers have a he'll of a job in front of them.
It sure appears like dude has a problem. With different women on different shows making accusations and not only is getting fired from shows, but his agents dropping him too? I think he is a good actor and I hope he can get himself together cause we won't be able see him in anything if he doesn't.

As a fan of The Chi, I'm concerned about where they go from here as well. If dude was fucking with Tiffany, then fuck him (Bmore stand up), but his character was the glue that kept that ensemble together. Not to mention, the character being a relatable, neighborhood dude just trying to make it. I don't know if any of you have tried watching Lena's other show "Boomerang" but it's jam packed with new wave feminist fuck shit. All of the male characters are written to be bitchmade, Episode 3 she literally has the co-star of the show get fucked in the ass with a strap. Shit's unwatchable.
So hopefully the writers on The Chi can maintain the integrity of the story without his character going forward.
