A Hollywood honcho who produced "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" alongside Harvey Weinstein was slapped with sexual harassment allegations from three women Monday.
The accusers _ a lawyer, a prominent screenwriter and an executive _ told the Hollywood Reporter that producer Adam Fields harassed or inappropriately touched them while serving in various roles at Relativity Media between 2010 and last year.
Leslie Dixon, who wrote the screenplay for the Bradley Cooper movie "Limitless," said she endured Fields' unwanted touching and lascivious language during on-set production of the 2010 flick.
Dixon said she finally had enough one day when, Fields, 62, suggested she needed a sex toy.
She reportedly walked off the set, called her agent and lawyer to complain and won an agreement Fields would keep his distance.
"It all happened," Dixon told THR. "My agent was brave. But no one inside Relativity wanted to be the one to call (former Relativity CEO) Ryan Kavanaugh. So Adam wasn't entirely banned from the set."
Fields, whose credits include "The Wedding Ringer" and "Donnie Darko," was given the role of Relativity's co-president of production in April 2016.
A short time later, he allegedly started harassing former junior-level executive Melissa Philipian, who worked in the studio's sports and music department.
"At first, he would just be sly about (it) and say, 'I can really move you up the ranks if you want to be in this movie business,'" Philipian told THR.
"He wasn't so overt with it. And then, it was a couple of weeks before I left, he came to me and basically told me if I went to his house and had sex with him, I could be moved up high at Relativity. I told him I was not interested," she said.
Philipian said she didn't report the incident at the time because she "loved" her job and didn't want to jeopardize her standing in the company.
"He was one of my bosses, and I didn't want to rock the boat. There were other women whom he was doing this to, and I just felt like I didn't want to lose my job or get in trouble over saying something. I just kept it to myself even though I knew other people were talking about how creepy he was and all the things he was saying to them. I was clearly not the only one," she said.
A Relativity lawyer who asked to remain anonymous said Fields targeted her with unsolicited touching.
"What I can tell you is Adam had unwanted physical contact with me," the lawyer told THR. "It was unwelcome and invaded my personal space, and it made me feel very uncomfortable, particularly because he was my superior."
A former male staffer also granted anonymity by THR said Fields openly discussed his penchant for prostitutes.
"He wanted to go to Cuba specifically for the hookers," the man told THR. "He also was showing me naked pictures on his phone of some girl he was supposedly dating. This was in the executive commissary at Sony. Even as a guy, he made me very uncomfortable."
Another former Relativity employee said Fields spoke crudely about a young female executive who is the daughter of an unidentified industry powerbroker.
"We were all working late nights, and he would rub the shoulders of a young executive and kiss her," the second male staffer reportedly said. "It was uncomfortable for me. He would talk about his sexual exploits in front of everyone, including women. He would show photos of nude women on his phone in front of women, who were all aghast."
Fields denied the claims in a statement from his lawyer.
"Mr. Fields categorically denies all the allegations. This is an obvious attempt by some at Relativity to intimidate Mr. Fields and destroy his reputation," the statement to THR said.
"It seems hardly coincidental that these stories from unnamed sources are surfacing in the press just now, a few days after Mr. Fields concluded presenting evidence in an arbitration in which he seeks millions of dollars in damages against Relativity and Ryan Kavanaugh for fraud and breach of contract," the statement said.
The accusers told THR they were inspired to speak up in the wake of a wave of allegations against Weinstein and other titans who previously seemed untouchable.
Fields was fired from Relativity in late 2016.
"We took swift and immediate action upon learning of these horrific allegations, launched an investigation and terminated him shortly thereafter," a Relativity spokesman said in a statement.
