Who attempted to blacklist Lil Rel Howery after he called them out for sexual harassment?

In Lil Rel’s Club Shay Shay interview he talks about why his work on Free Guy means to much to him.

Sometime “before #MeToo,” he confronted a producer about his inappropriate behavior with women on the set of the movie the two had just finished filming together.

In response this producer slandered Lil Rel and tried blacklist him from the entertainment industry. Roles dried up for him, his team was begging him to apologize to the producer, and he seriously considered moving back to Chicago.

Lil Rel cites his casting in Free Guy as the thing that saved his career. With the stamp of approval from power players like Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy, he was welcomed back into Hollywood without reservation.

Lil Rel doesn’t name the producer in the interview, but I’m so fixated on finding out who it is.

We have some clues:

-Lil Rel secured his role in Free Guy in early 2019

-The confrontation happened on movie, not television, set

-The conformation took place before Hollywood’s 2017/2018 reckoning with gender and sexual harassment

-Lil Rel praises the team behind Get Out in the interview, so it’s probably not anyone related to Get Out

Looking through a Lil Rel’s filmography, the movie Mad Families stands out. Know creep Charlie Sheen is the star and a producer, and it filmed in 2016. But that doesn’t 100% feel like the right answer to me. Was Charlie Sheen still the kind of power player that could’ve blacklisted in 2016?

I’m curious what you think? Do any of you have any theories?
