Roy Price has resigned from Amazon studios Picture: Paul Zimmerman/WireImage) Shamed Amazon Studios ..
Shamed Amazon Studios boss Roy Price allegedly claimed he wouldn’t greenlight Big Little Lies unless Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman went topless.
Price resigned from Amazon this week amid sexual harassment allegations from producer Isa Hackett.
The Man In The High Castle and Electric Dreams producer Hackett alleged that Price said to her ‘You will love my dick’ while travelling to a staff party.
Now, it has been alleged that Price asked whether Reese – who this week spoke out about being harassed by a director when she was 16 – and Nicole would ‘show their tits’ if Amazon picked up Big Little Lies.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, company insiders allege that Price asked at a Christmas party at Lucky Strike bowling alley whether the actresses would ‘show their tits’ in the show and whether it was worth greenlighting if they didn’t.
Big Little Lies eventually went to HBO, with the drama winning eight Emmys for the channel.
As well as the allegations made by Ms Hackett, Price has been accused of making ‘unwanted advances’ towards Anna Friel.
Former Brookside actress Anna allegedly fled a showbiz dinner during last year’s Edinburgh TV festival after the TV exec ‘acted inappropriately’.
And Price is also accused of ignoring Rose McGowan when she told Amazon about her alleged rape by Harvey Weinstein.

Price’s resignation came just after Weinstein resigned from The Weinstein Company following allegations of sexual harassment and assault made against him.
Stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Lena Headey have accused the 65-year-old of harassment, while other celebs including Jennifer Lawrence and Blake Lively have spoken of their experiences with other men in the industry.
