Jason Mitchell of ‘The Chi’ loses MTV award nomination after misconduct allegations

Jason Mitchell as Brandon on “The Chi.”

The actor already had lost his jobs on the Showtime series as well as a Netflix movie.

“The Chi” actor Jason Mitchell, who has been losing jobs after allegations of misconduct, on Wednesday was dropped as a nominee for an MTV Movie & TV Award.

Variety reports that he was removed from competition for the best performance in a show, and an MTV spokesperson said the deletion was “in light of recent developments.”
