Funimation has parted with voice actor Vic Mignogna. This comes from allegation claiming Vic was inappropriate with a few fans that since then open the gates to other incidents. This even include fellow actors such as Monica Rail and Jamie Marchi. Funimation has decided after doing an investigation to let him go.
“Everyone, we wanted to give you an update on the Vic Mignogna situation. Following an investigation, Funimation recast Vic Mignogna in Morose Mononokean Season 2. Funimation will not be engaging Mignogna in future productions. Part of our core mission is to celebrate the diversity of the anime community and to share our love for this genre and its positive impact on all. We do not condone any kind of harassment or threatening behavior being directed at anyone.”
Vic has tweeted since this saying there are 2 sides to every story and has posted a vide apologizing for him causing anyone discomfort. But it should be noted that these go back to 2008 with some such as Monica saying they have brought to his attention only for him to go back to it a week later.
This is a tough situation to call either way when you don’t have all the fact. So no matter who side you are on keep that in mind to just jump towards one without careful thought is doing no one any favors. Please keep that in mind before bashing either Vic, Monica Jamie or anyone.
As always thank you for reading.
