Neil Kaplan iz Voltrona optužen za nedolično ponašanje nakon što je Kaplan optužio Vica Mignognu za nedolično ponašanje

Back in early February, 2019 voice actor Neil Kaplan, known for Red Dead Redemption 2, Destiny 2, World of Warcraft, Gundam i Voltron, accused fellow voice actor Vic Mignogna of misconduct while at a convention when Mignogna climbed onto Kaplan’s shoulders as part of a joke. However, while Kaplan has been championing the #MeToo movement and castigating Mignogna, new information has come to light from a staffer who did volunteer work at some of the conventions Kaplan attended, and according to her story, Kaplan engaged in inappropriate behavior and misconducted himself at the event.

YouTubea Hero Hei goes over all of the accusations and allegations against the various voice actors up until this point. At the 14 minute mark Hei begins going over some of Kaplan’s tweets about how he never liked Mignogna, and then segues into an allegation made by a con-staffer who accused Kaplan of the kind of inappropriate behavior that Kaplan accused Mignogna of.

The story that Hero Hei recounts comes from a Twitter post made by a certain Vanessa Gomez, who shared the story of her friend Emily, who originally posted the information on Instagram.

Now, in the Instagram post, Emily recounts how she was working as a volunteer at an Anime Convention between January 4th and January 6th of 2019.

She was assigned as Kaplan’s guest handler, where she noted that during her tenure as his handler he allegedly kept making inappropriate gestures by wanting her to go out to dinner with him or go out for drinks, while she politely and repeatedly declined.

She also noted that Kaplan kept inviting her up to his room whenever she encountered him, which happened again at another convention that took place between February 2nd and February 3rd, 2019.

Emily also stated that Kaplan had a measure of persistence about his intentions, and even texted her about it. Emily provided the text messages that Kaplan had sent her and shared them on Instagram.

At the end of Emily’s second encounter with Kaplan, she recounts what happened as they were wrapping up the first day of the convention, writing…

“Okay, now let me explain the incident that went way too far for me. At the end of the first day of the anime convention, Neil came up to me during clean up. With another volunteer present, he hugs me and then after the hugs puts his hands on my shoulders. He lightly shakes me back and forth and I will never forget what he said next. He said to me ‘(Sigh) I just want to snuggle you, it’s so wrong, but I just want to snuggle you’. He then proceeds to hug me again. After that, though I should have reported him to my superiors sooner, I talked to the management team at the convention and came clean about everything including what happened at the previous convention. After that, all of the staff and volunteers worked with me to have little to no interaction with Neil as humanly possible.”

This comes after Kaplan had accused Vic Mignogna of misconduct during the news circling about Rooster Teeth firing Vic Mignogna from RWBY.

Many fans began calling out Kaplan on Twitter after reading Emily’s story. Kaplan responded on February 7th, 2019 by saying that he would put together an apology over the weekend.

On February 8th, Kaplan followed up by also stating that he would be posting the full screencaps from the exchange he had with Emily to further add context to their interactions and clear up some misunderstandings.

Kaplan, however, maintains his stance that Mignogna was in the wrong and has not walked back those statements.

Kaplan made it known that he never liked Mignogna, which made some people feel Kaplan was being disingenuous with his #MeToo story, calling it an attempt to pile on Mignogna while he was being accused of misconduct by others.

Nevertheless, some fans are waiting for the full story from Kaplan this weekend, assuming all of the details are posted up as he declared.
