The Toronto-based filmmaker had said she was of Algonquin, Metis, and French heritage, from the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg and Maniwaki area in Quebec. The show debuted to much positive buzz last fall, but became a lightning rod of attention in December after a CBC News investigation challenged co-creator Latimer’s self-identification as Indigenous. Shot largely in North Bay, Ont., “Trickster” was a mythical story starring Joel Oulette as a teenager who discovers he has magical powers passed down through generations. “I know dozens of real Indigenous writers and directors who could’ve taken over as show runner and benefitted from this opportunity.” “This could have been an opportunity to do it right the second season,” tweeted Mohawk performer and filmmaker Devery Jacobs, whose acting credits include the recent film “Blood Quantum.” Viewers, some of the show’s creators and fellow Indigenous actors took to social media on Friday to question why the CBC didn’t find a new path forward for “Trickster,” even though it had been greenlit for a second season.

But that work rarely turned into coveted acting credits the school used to lure its ambitious and hopeful students, the suit claims. “Most of the work that was offered for us had nudity requirements – for women specifically,” Gaal told NPR Thursday evening. Gaal, who also took classed at Studio 4, also balked at the amount of sexually explicit work women were asked to do at the school. Tither-Kaplan was one of the first students to take classes at Studio 4, including a $750 Sex Scenes master class that became one of the main focuses of their lawsuit. Four days later, the Los Angeles Times published five women’s accounts of sexual misconduct by the star, including several stemming from requests Franco allegedly made of young actresses enrolled in classes at his for-profit school. Several women, including Tither-Kaplan, took to Twitter to challenge Franco.
