Beau DeMayo Says Marvel Treated Him as a DEI Hire Over OnlyFans, Then Ousted X-Men ’97

DeMayo has a history of public disputes with Marvel, including a former lawsuit over working conditions and allegations of a pattern of harassment, while Marvel has publicly defended its actions and credits removals as part of the separation terms. The controversy also touches on DeMayo’s involvement with a Blade reboot and ongoing disputes surrounding X-Men ’97.
