'It feels very odd to me that you and your company would consider hiring someone with Mr. Lasseter’s pattern of misconduct,' Thompson wrote.
"We did not enter this decision lightly. John has acknowledged and apologized for his mistakes and, during the past year away from the workplace, has endeavored to address and reform them," David Ellison, Skydance Media's CEO said in the statement.
But Thomson isn't buying it. In her letter to Skydance, Thompson asked:"If a man has made women at his companies feel undervalued and disrespected for decades, why should the women at his new company think that any respect he shows them is anything other than an act that he’s required to perform by his coach, his therapist and his employment agreement?"
"The message seems to be, 'I am learning to feel respect for women so please be patient while I work on it. It’s not easy,'" Thomson's letter continued. Many lauded Thompson, not just for dropping out of the film, but also for so clearly detailing her motivations.
