When the movie, Superman Returns, failed to become a blockbuster, some people were disappointed despite this movie being pretty good. Not many people liked the new turn of events in the movie (but there were many positive aspects), like having Kate Bosworth play Lois Lane for one, and Jon Peters, the producer took plenty of flak for it. Moreover, a sexual harassment case that has been going on for five years has finally reached culmination and Peters has been ordered to pay up. He may have to pay up but Superman Returns was certainly better than Superman 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Morita Wins!
Shelly Morita worked as a personal assistant to plenty of famous people including Jennifer Connelly before she took up employment with Jon Peters. She hired sexual harassment lawyers after Superman Returns was shot claiming that the producer got too fresh with her on the sets and even crawled into her bed at night. Well, this is probably further indication he realized he made a mistake with Bosworth. Oh Well
Her sexual harassment lawyers mounted a convincing case based on the evidence provided by Morita and the jury veered toward her. This has resulted in a judgment against Peters who has been asked to pay Morita $822,000 in lost wages and a further $2.5 million in punitive damages.
Too Bad
Morita quit working with Peters before she hired sexualharassment lawyers to obtain justice against a man who tried to fondle her and even picked her up in a bear hug when he was completely naked. Needless to say, his inappropriate attention was not welcome. Peters intends to appeal the judgment but it might be a vain attempt. His history is checkered with such obnoxious stories and that may be held against him. Too bad, this could be the reason why another Kevin Spacey/Brandon Routh Superman has not arrived.
