Former Maker CEO Suing Company
Ousted founder Danny Zappin files suit, defendant list includes his girlfriend
Last December, Maker Studios founder and CEO Danny Zappin got into a very public and ugly dispute with the company's top talent, YouTuber Ray William Johnson. Then a few weeks ago, Zappin was shoved aside for new CEO Ynon Kreiz, who plans to reshape the company in part by building out more original series.
Now, according to Variety, Zappin, along with three others, are suing the company. Among the defendants listed in the suit are Kreiz, investor Mark Suster, producer Ben Donovan and his sister Lisa Donovan—who has been linked romantically to Zappin.
