Sexual misconduct allegations

 

In May 2017, the media reported that one of Reid's female assistants filed a sexual misconduct claim against him. Epic Records executives allegedly refused to intervene at the time.[65] Reid soon departed from Sony's Epic Records.[66][67]

In November 2023, former music executive Drew Dixon, who worked with Reid at Arista Records between 2000 and 2002, filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him in the Federal District Court in Manhattan, alleging that Reid sexually assaulted her on two occasions.[68] The lawsuit, which was filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act, charged that Reid's misconduct forced Dixon out of the music business.[69]
