Apparently,Goddess of female eroticism and sexuality Goddess of female eroticism and sexuality greek allegations of sexual harassment weren't the only misdeeds of the recently ousted Amazon Studios head Roy Price.
According to a Hollywood Reporterarticle, Price seemed all too eager to pass on noteworthy female-led shows, while greenlighting his own script idea called Shanghai Snow. Sources tell THRthe project, already two years in development, told the story of a woman sold into sex slavery.
The script saw her character repeatedly drugged, beaten, and told she would be "fucked like a dead fish." Which is not to mention the character of Mr. Goodtimes, her “psychotic imperial Thai dwarf” and captor.
Reportedly, a screenwriter attached to the project, Raven Metzner, was so revolted by the script's blatant misogyny that he threatened to leave. Amazon responded by sanctioning a rewrite from Metzner, as well as bringing female writer Chris Levinson (who worked on Dawson's Creekand Charmed) onto the project.

Amazon has not yet responded to a request for confirmation on the reported details and clarity on the uncharacteristic secrecy around Shanghai Snow's development.
A little under a week ago, Amazon Studios producer Isa Hackett went public with details on the sexual harassment allegations she made back in 2015. Amazon put Price on suspension, and he resigned from his position shortly thereafter.

He also showed little care and attention toward one of Amazon Studios' few female-driven shows, Good Girls Revolt, and canceled it after Season 1 despite solid critical reviews.
The one big award Price's leadership did snag the studio, however, was accused sexual harasser Casey Affleck's Oscar for the film Manchester by the Sea. Price's close relationship with Harvey Weinstein didn't help his case, either, seeing as his continued business with the Weinstein Co. helped keep it afloat.
Overall, many have started questioning Amazon's company culture, particularly when it comes to women in Hollywood. While the Amazon Studios pushed to hire more female directors, Big Little Liars director David E. Kelley said he thought, "They are in way over their heads,” and that he refuses to work with them "until their entertainment house is put in order."
