WGA West presidential candidate Phyllis Nagy is accusing the guild’s leaders of “electioneering” in their latest legal maneuver against Hollywood’s talent agencies. WGA West president David Goodman…
Goodman, in a fiery response, told Deadline: “Ms. Nagy, whose résumé does not suggest that she has any form of legal education, has made some extraordinary claims. She determined that the agencies would have prevailed in state court having read only the agencies’ briefs, and not the Guild’s responses, because the Guild’s responses have yet to be filed. This would be absurd on its face, not to mention an embarrassment, had she simply said these things in private.
In response, Nagy said: “It does not take legal training to read the leadership’s written arguments to postpone the state court judge’s hearing on the motions to dismiss. The only reasonable interpretation is that the WGA leadership did not want the issue of its ill-considered action to file suit against the major agencies coming up before voting on the WGA election had been completed.
