Fraser alleged Philip Berk of groping in 2003 four years ago
As per the sources, the actor will not be invited to the 2023 Golden Globes for a serious reason. Although, he was nominated for the Whales.
He alleged being groped by Philip Berk in 2003 four years ago at a luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Berk is the former president and member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They organize the Golden Globes which explains his absence from the event.
However, Brek declined the allegations. In 2018 he told GQ, “Mr. Fraser’s version is a total fabrication. My apology admitted no wrongdoing, the usual ‘If I’ve done anything that upset Mr. Fraser, it was not intended and I apologize.'”
