BuzzFeed runs story on Eddie Berganza

[Denirac]

It's not "justice" if DC is only trying to avoid more bad publicity and save face, rather than actually do it because it's what should have been done in the past.
(Do we even know if DC has fired him for actions that occurred after they last supposedly dealt with his inappropriate behavior?)

It is 'Justice' it's simply Belated Justice... only a few years late...

Actually... 'Belated Justice' could be a Good Event Name... Someone should write that down.

Ok, her victims are the real reason because he was fired..

And there are another similar problems, like Gadot with Brett Ratner.. or Melissa(supergirl) with Andrew Kreisberg.. Related in some way with DC..

Damn, Cosby was the tip of the iceberg. Freakin everyone did something. And it's not even the people who you'd think were scumbags. It's people who seem normal. This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Crazy isn't it?

True.
He had nothing more than a slap on the wrist until it was brought up in New York Daily News (making the cover, even).

This way, DC's doing the 'right thing' by letting him go and turning bad publicity into good by riding the 'headline' and showing support.
He was likely kept in because he has friends in high spots. They just couldn't protect him any longer without defaming the company (and risk losing their own jobs if WB investigated closer*).

And it is also very possible that there was another occurrence that has not been made public, or a 'nearly happened' moment where one of his buddies intervened and kept it from escalating. They also probably got tired of the baby-sitting, having to always keep an eye on him and safeguard him from situations where he could risk another occurrence.

(*Also worth noting is that since he was eventually terminated, it is quite possible that the people who did protect him are already at risk of demotion or some sort of disciplinary action.)

[Rakzo]

This should have happened a long time ago. DC only made themselves look worse for keeping him for so long and this has surprisingly caused a domino effect that has revealed a few other people involved in these acts.

I wasn't expecting something like this from Andrew Kreisberg. Yes, he is a terrible writer but I wasn't expecting him to be equally as bad of a person to boot (although some hints of this could be seen in his work considering how he created the character of Cupid as a sexual assaulter).

Ding Dong, the witch is dead.

Given the time they took it`s not Justice but is vindicative all the same. At this point what matters the most is that he`s out.

[Timothy Hunter]

I wonder what the Super-books will look like without Berganaza.

[titanfan]

I suppose it’s possible to get a worse editor..but surely more than a bit unlikely.

I agree with some other posters that main problem is that IF he has not re-offended since DC’s disciplinary action in 2012 that it is difficult to take further action now.

100%. I mean for them to do it now after an article was published makes it look more scuzzy as a company on their part.

I don't feel at him at all, but he was basically punished twice (or three times) for the same crime.

If DC made him reveal all the Incidents the last time when they covered it up, and sign saying that was all before he changed his ways, then the discovery of a Previously Undisclosed allegation would break his deal with them. Hence he has no case against DC firing him.

Though maybe DC should burn some incense and a few scented candles in the Office now.. get rid of the bad smell from all the stuff they had to do the first time

But, do we know if that's what happened?

One article said something about a "previously unreported" incidence, but that doesn't mean Berganza hadn't discussed it with DC. (After all, did DC hold any press conference and publically announce all the times Eddie was naughty so the general media would be aware of them?)

No. But DC would know. And Berganza has been very quiet on this issue, if he hadnt done anything wrong since he was last caught, then surely he'd defend himself

Or he's letting it lie low until he serves DC with a lawsuit.

It might be he wants to try and stay out of the spotlight at the moment.

Given he was likely given a hefty severance package that would certainly include an NDA, I don't expect we'll be hearing from him for many years.
