Film and TV producer Randall Emmett is alleged to have offered numerous women movie roles in Hollywood in exchange for sex, an explosive exposé published on Thursday by The Los Angeles Times has revealed. According to the news outlet, it had uncovered years of hundreds of court filings, including internal company records and interviews of former female colleagues, and alleged the 51-year-old has faced endless lawsuits, abuse allegations, and a lot of debt.
Randall, whose work credentials include being the EP on “Power” from 2014 to 2020 and producing Netflix’s 2019 “The Irishman,” has one woman claiming “that to receive acting work from [him], she would have to perform sexual favors.” The actress, who was represented by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, wanted to remain anonymous in fear of retribution, as she recalled texting Randall about a movie role she had auditioned for.

“Yes. one day of work and u need to f—kme [sic] hun,” the Miami native allegedly responded. The same woman went on to star in two of Randall’s projects, though her roles were said to have been minor, insiders explained. During this time, she is alleged to have given the Hollywood producer oral sex, and massages, and stood in front of him naked while he masturbated inside his office. Randall was sent a settlement agreement in January for Gloria’s client for $200,000, which he reportedly “printed, signed and scanned” though he denies ever doing so when asked for comment.
But it didn’t end there as just two months later, Randall is said to have direct messaged a 30-year-old woman on Instagram, asking her whether she wanted to “f*** on the dl” and “do heroin and meth.” The woman, who has been in a year-long relationship with her boyfriend said she had to use the camera on her laptop to capture the DMs since Randall was using IG’s vanish mode setting to prevent leaving traces.

Randall’s spokeswoman Sallie Hofmeister has since denied the claims made by the LA Times, telling Page Six, “This stems from one allegation dating back from 2012 that Randall denies. These allegations are false and part of a now-familiar smear campaign orchestrated by Randall’s ex-fiancée to sway their custody dispute
However, a source for Page Six went on to contend, “This piece was clearly [done with] many, many sources over many, many months of reporting by the LA Times. Lala was a small part of this whole story. The article is really focused on Randall’s shady business practices for the last 10 years-plus.”
