Blizzard chairman J. Allen Brack resigns due to discrimination lawsuit

 

 

Blizzard Entertainment president J. Allen Brack resigned after a violent lawsuit that accused the company of discriminating against and harassing women in the workplace. Activision Blizzard announced Tuesday morning that Jen Onil and Mike Ibarra will succeed Brack. Onil joined Blizzard in January as the executive vice president of development, and Ibarra has served as the executive vice president and general manager of platforms and technology since 2019. "I believe Jen Oneal and Mike Ibarra will lead Blizzard to achieve their goals. "I hope they will do this with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and can trust them to lead with the utmost integrity and dedication. "Part of our culture. What makes Blizzard so special. It's unclear whether Brack will stay with the company in other roles. Respond to BuzzFeed News’ request for comment immediately. Blizzard said in a statement that both of the new leaders are "Very committed to this cause. To all our employees; upcoming work to ensure that Blizzard is the safest and most welcoming workplace, suitable for women and people of any gender, race, sexual orientation or background; protect and strengthen our values; and restore your confidence.

Last month, after two years of investigation, the California Department of Housing and Fair Recruitment filed a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, accusing the company of allowing a culture of "student brotherhood" involving sexual harassment of female employees. Regarding women who said they were discriminated against because they were mothers and lost compensation and promotion. The lawsuit alleges that the woman committed suicide on suspicion of sexual harassment while on a business trip, including a colleague who showed him her nude photos. These allegations include "garbled, and in many cases, incorrect descriptions" of Blizzard's past. Activision Blizzard’s games include Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch and Candy Crush Saga.
