Hutton claims a pay-or-play clause in his contract guaranteed him at least $3 million regardless of whether he appeared in the reboot.
Hutton, who was dropped from the show after the claims surfaced, has denied the allegations. Canadian prosecutors didn’t charge the actor, citing a lack of evidence.
“We take allegations of sexual assault very seriously, especially when children are involved,” a representative for Electric said. “Despite dealing with these allegations for years, Mr. Hutton failed to disclose them to us before or during negotiations for him to reprise his role in. Consequently, once we learned of the allegations in the press, we ceased negotiations with him and chose to move on without him.
“Hutton’s representatives insisted that he be locked upon close in return for granting Electric the successive options it needed to secure a commitment from Amazon,” writes Hutton’s attorney Dale Kinsella. “Otherwise, Hutton would have been in the impossible position of being tied for four years to a project — and, therefore, unable to accept other roles at the beginning of pilot season — without Electric having the corresponding obligation to pay him for that exclusive four-year option.
