Former Dark Horse Comics Editor-In-Chief, Scott Allie has been accused of prolonged se*ual harassment by one of his co-workers, Shawna Gore. In a painfully detailed account, Gore has taken to her official Twitter handle to share her horror stories and harassment faced at the hands of Scott Allie.
Taking to her Twitter handle, Shawna Gore has shared, “I have made the decision to come forward with my own experience of abuse in the comics industry. I am not the one at fault and the shame I have felt is not mine to carry. I was assaulted, harassed, and retaliated against by Scott Allie during our tenure at Dark Horse.” She has spoken about several instances including one where Scott forced his hands inside her pants during a company trip.
