LOS ANGELES — The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group behind the Golden Globes, is investigating a longtime member over claims of sexual misconduct.
Th HFPA said it placed member Husam "Sam" Asi on probation on Monday.
The action followed a report in The Wrap in which three women allege that Asi — who represents the United Kingdom and the Middle East for the association and is a Palestinian journalist for the BBC Arabic service — "abused their trust by turning professional situations into sexualized encounters."
