Jon Peters is a Class Act

Hey true believers, SSS here in between the Christmas and New Year's drinking binges. We know we haven't posted anything in quite a bit but Superman movie news related to either Singerman or JLA has been about as rare as a comicbook on Singer's bookshelf so its been a bit tough to come up with much. We did however find this recent news story about Singerman producer Jon Peters latest escapade and couldnt resist commenting on it.

After the last time good ole Jon made the news, it really made us wonder what exactly goes on over at WB Features and why there seems to be an overall lack of accountability for ANYTHING over there. But this latest incident of Peters' really takes the cake, as he's now being sued by THREE former employees, one for sexual harassment, and the other, a couple, who claims Peters wanted the pregnant wife to have an abortion or he'd fire the husband!

Blanca Hernandez alleged in her suit that Peters "systematically sexually harassed" her on nearly a daily basis. The incidents included unwanted touching, hugging and attempting to push Hernandez into bed while Peters was naked. The suit also claimed that Peters attempted to kiss her breasts, referring to them as "pillows."

The suit also alleged that an official at Peters Entertainment warned her that if she complained about Peters, "her and her daughter would be murdered." Hernandez was fired July 25, 2006, after approximately a year on the job, according to court papers.

Nice guy. At least this time, the person he's harassing is of legal age. Although the murder threat is a new one even for him. It gets better:

Adriana and Andrew Silveira contended in their lawsuit that after she learned she was pregnant in June 2006, her husband was told by Peters that if he wanted to keep his job, she should have an abortion. The lawsuit did not make clear why Peters allegedly made the demand. When the couple refused, Peters sent Andrew Silveira an e-mail informing him that he was being fired, the suit stated.

That should remove any kind of lingering doubt in anyone's mind as to whether Peters really is a grade A douchebag. How he continues to remain employed by WB is anyone's guess at this point. How long can the credit he gets for Batman in 1989 really last? We wonder how Superman could be taken so far out of character by Singer and Co. but the answer would seem to lie at the top of the food chain starting with it's producer and trickling on down. Let's hope this clown gets thrown out as well.

Jon Peters Wants to Show You "What Boys Have"

From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" file, it looks like Singerman producer Jon Peters has gotten himself into some hot water. The same guy who wanted to put giant spiders, polar bear guards, and gay robots into a Superman film has apparently added sexual harassment to his list of transgressions...again.

According to multiple sources, a woman claims in a lawsuit that Peters sexually harassed her and exposed himself to her and her 3-year-old daughter while she worked as his personal assistant.

"Shelly Morita began working for the producer in February 2005 but quit after about a year, the suit said.

According to the lawsuit, Peters frequently grabbed Morita's breasts, buttocks or legs, hugged and kissed her and made "rude, sexual and disparaging comments."

During filming of "Superman Returns" in Australia in July 2005, Peters crawled into her hotel room bed and refused to leave, the suit alleged.

Morita also claims that in August 2005, while working in Peters' home, she walked in on him as he was naked and waiting to get a massage. The suit claims Peters chased her and gave her a bear hug.

The suit also claims that last December, while on a trip to Peters' ranch in Santa Barbara, Peters exposed himself to Morita and her daughter, commenting, "Look what boys have!"

He later joked about it to other employees at the ranch, the suit claimed."

Nice guy. Just the type of individual you want working for your company. And guess what? This isn't the first time this has happened while he was in WB's employ. In 1998, Colleen Bennett, Peter's former executive vice president of finance, filed suit, alleging that Peters groped her, exposed himself to her and conducted meetings in his underwear. If guys like this are allowed to stick around WB Features, it really explains a lot how management there conducts business and why we get the Catwoman's and Singerman's that we do.
