FSC Announces Call for 3-Day Production Moratorium |
LOS ANGELES—The Free Speech Coalition has just announced a call for a precautionary 3-day suspension of production, as the result of a notification from an unnamed public health official regarding an "HIV exposure on an out-of-state set." The FSC statement reads in full: This message is to inform you that a THREE-DAY hold on production is in effect, as of immediately. This is due to a situation recently brought to the attention of FSC that requires investigation before production can be allowed to continue. We have received notification from a public health department official of HIV exposure on an out-of-state set. In an abundance of caution, we are calling for a three-day hold on production while we evaluate any risk to the performer pool, and determine if a full moratorium is warranted. As with past production holds, we ask that people refrain from speculation until more news is forthcoming, and respect performer privacy. We are currently working with the public health department, the production company, and the performer, and will alert as more information is available. We appreciate your patience and consideration at this time. If you have questions or need more information, contact info@freespeechcoalition.com.
