Well seems he is admitting to a point his behavior... better than most... However honestly Pixar has done nothing of note since Disney took it over IMHO.
Not blaming the victim here, but Rashida Jones (daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton) is “High-Level Beautiful”.
Even at age 41, she has that uncommon beauty that cannot be faked. In that way, Rashida is similar to Vanessa Williams, the first Black Miss America.
That being said, one should remain professional when dealing with people on the job. Just because somebody is a ‘knock out’ does not mean you can have her. What if it were your daughter or sister being treated that way?
There are heterosexuals at Disney? Who knew? But he’s been outed and the company is rid of him.
...yet the sheeple will roll into theaters for Pixar’s ‘Coco’ tomorrow...

“The full memo from Lasseter - who clearly used the celebrity perv random apology generator generously in the past day - to employees is below.
‘I have always wanted our animation studios to be places where creators can explore their vision with the support and collaboration of other gifted animators and storytellers. This kind of creative culture takes constant vigilance to maintain. It’s built on trust and respect, and it becomes fragile if any members of the team don’t feel valued. As a leader, it’s my responsibility to ensure that doesn’t happen; and I now believe I have been falling short in this regard.
I’ve recently had a number of difficult conversations that have been very painful for me. It’s never easy to face your missteps, but it’s the only way to learn from them. As a result, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the leader I am today compared to the mentor, advocate and champion I want to be. It’s been brought to my attention that I have made some of you feel disrespected or uncomfortable. That was never my intent. Collectively, you mean the world to me, and I deeply apologize if I have let you down. I especially want to apologize to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug or any other gesture they felt crossed the line in any way, shape, or form. No matter how benign my intent, everyone has the right to set their own boundaries and have them respected.
In my conversations with Disney, we are united in our commitment to always treat any concerns you have with the seriousness they deserve, and to address them in an appropriate manner. We also share a desire to reinforce the vibrant, respectful culture that has been the foundation of our studios’ success since the beginning. And we agree the first step in that direction is for me to take some time away to reflect on how to move forward from here. As hard as it is for me to step away from a job I am so passionate about and a team I hold in the highest regard, not just as artists but as people, I know it’s the best thing for all of us right now. My hope is that a six-month sabbatical will give me the opportunity to start taking better care of myself, to recharge and be inspired, and ultimately return with the insight and perspective I need to be the leader you deserve.
I’m immensely proud of this team, and I know you will continue to wow the world in my absence. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and look forward to working together again in the new year.

Disney has a history of inserting sexual images in their cartoons.
I’m just relieved he likes grown women.
Now we know what “WOODY” really is........
“Hey baby come see “WOODY”.
