Kreisberg, 46, is also a writer and producer for the TV series Arrow. The producer previously denied charges of inappropriate touching or massages in a statement to Variety, but told the news site, “I have made comments on women’s appearances and clothes in my capacity as an executive producer, but they were not sexualized. Like many people, I have given someone a non-sexual hug or kiss on the cheek.”
