Thing is though that being a Producer comes with different rules on a set. In a normal circumstance narcing on one can be a career limiting move which is why anonymous union and studio hotlines exist but little fly by night passion projects don't have those. I have seen some really messed up stuff happen when one of the people who puts up the money for the paychecks is in an indispensable role and they flagrantly break a rule... But this case where the highest ranked on set safety officer is the other half of the equation doing it what in the absolute fuck do you do about it?

Given how people were already leaving the show for reasonable safety concerns (which believe me usually have to be pretty agregrious for people to actually split when they are working shows like this ) you can kind of tell tell what the general Producer/Production Manager attitude was about crew safety versus Producer privilege. Technically speaking I think all of them should be at least fined up the ass but it's so rare that a Producer, celebrity or not is literally left holding a smoking gun.

We as a culture need to really start looking at the power dynamics on a set because lemme tell you - they fucking matter and they can get you killed.
