Channing Tatum has announced he will no longer work with The Weinstein Company, thus backing out of his upcoming co-directorial debut, after exposés revealed decades of alleged sexual harassment and assault from the company’s former head honcho, Harvey Weinstein.

Tatum, 37, and producer Reid Carolin were set to direct “Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock,” an adaption of Matthew Quick’s 2013 young adult novel that centers around an abused teen planning to shoot his former best friend before committing suicide.

“The brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their truth about Harvey Weinstein are true heroes to us,” Tatum and Carolin wrote Wednesday in a statement on Instagram. “They are lifting the heavy bricks to build the equitable world we all deserve to live in.”

The statement continued, “Our lone project in development with TWC — Matthew Quick’s brilliant book, ‘Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock’ — is a story about a boy whose life was torn asunder by sexual abuse. While we will no longer develop it or anything else that is property of TWC, we are reminded of its powerful message of healing in the wake of tragedy. This is a giant opportunity for real positive change that we proudly commit ourselves to. The truth is out — let’s finish what our incredible colleagues started and eliminate abuse from our creative culture once and for all.”

On Tuesday, the company’s board forced Harvey Weinstein to resign in the wake of the scandal. He had already been fired as an employee earlier in the month.
