A fired Nickelodeon producer facing allegations of sexual harassment is expressing regret over his behaviour.
Chris Savino, creator of the animated series The Loud House, posted the apology on his Facebook page.
Savino wrote on Monday that he’s “deeply sorry” and ashamed that his words and actions unintentionally created an uncomfortable environment.
He says he’s learnt difficult but valuable lessons, adding that he respects the bravery of the women who have spoken out.
Savino has been accused of sexual harassment by up to 12 women, according to the website Cartoon Brew, which reports on animation industry news.
Last week, Nickelodeon said it took allegations of misconduct seriously and that Savino was no longer working with the children’s TV channel.
