<a href="http://variety.com/2017/biz/news/aint-it-cool-news-harry-knowles-eric-vespe-quint-sexual-assault-1202569990/">Knowles is denying all charges</a> lodged against him, but contributors Eric "Quint" Vespe, Steve "Capone" Prokopy and "Horrorella" have also made their leave. On Saturday, IndieWire reported Jasmine Baker's charges that he repeatedly rubbed up against her in an appropriate manner and also reached under her shirt.

This alleged abuse took place at the Alamo Drafthouse. Alamo Drafthouse also recently made news when they were sued for their women only screening of Wonder Woman and Devin Faraci, former editor-in-chief of Birth.Movies.Death. Despite being fired after sexual assault allegations, Drafthouse recently revealed his return in a "limited capacity."
