"I deeply regret that I have made mistakes in my personal life that have caused pain and embarrassment to the people I love the most," said Tsujihara. "I also deeply regret that these personal actions have caused embarrassment to the company and to all of you." WarnerMedia, the studio's parent company, said Monday that its investigation into the situation, carried out by a third-party law firm, is continuing. Kirk appeared in Warner Bros.' "How to Be Single" in 2016 and "Ocean's 8" in 2018. She has denied any inappropriate behavior on the part of Tsujihara or two other executives, Brett Ratner and James Packer, who she communicated with. "Mr. Tsujihara never promised me anything," said Kirk. The scandal unfolded just as Warner Bros. was restructuring on the heels of AT&T's takeover of WarnerMedia, previously known as Time Warner. Tsujihara's role had just been expanded to include global kids and family entertainment.
