“This lawsuit presents a glaring example of the systemic abuse and exploitation in the entertainment industry,” the Jane Does lawyer, Shounak Dharap of Arns Davis Law, said in a statement. “Our clients trusted TDE to act with integrity and professionalism. Instead, their trust was betrayed in profoundly damaging ways. They’re bringing this lawsuit because they refuse to be silenced, and because they intend to hold TDE accountable in court.”
