(Update: Tyler Grasham has been fired from the Agency for the Performing Arts. )
“Descendants” actor Cameron Boyce has fired APA agent Tyler Grasham after he was accused of sexual assault, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.
Boyce is the second actor to fire the agent after “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard also parted ways with him, TheWrap exclusively reported on Friday.
Whether or not Boyce, who stars in the Disney TV movies and series “Descendants,” will continue his relationship with APA remains to be seen.
The Agency for the Performing Arts began investigating Tyler Grasham after Blaise Godbe Lipman accused him of plying him with alcohol and sexually abusing him a decade ago.
Lipman, now a 28-year-old filmmaker, told TheWrap on Thursday that he met Grasham when he was 17 or 18, and was talking to Grasham about signing on as an APA client. He said he turned 18 in June of 2007, and was assaulted that summer. He cannot recall if the date of the assault was before or after his birthday, he said.
“APA takes these allegations extremely seriously and is investigating this matter,” an agency spokesperson told TheWrap on Thursday in regard to Lipman’s allegations, posted to his Facebook page on Monday.
