Ali Abbasi, director of ‘The Apprentice’, accused of groping A-list actor

The Hindu  

Ali Abbasi, director of the Oscar-nominated Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice, has been accused of groping an A-List actor. According to reports, at the CAA’s Golden Globes after party, an inebriated Abbasi groped an A-List, a CAA represented actor. The film stars Sebastian Stan as a young Trump, with Jeremy Strong playing his infamous mentor, Roy Cohn. I’m grateful for the work CAA and Entertainment 360 have done, particularly their commitment to The Apprentice, which remains a project I’m incredibly proud of.
