In the wake of claims of misconduct against Pixar Animation Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios and DisneyToon Studios Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter, THR has cited sources stating that actor and screenwriter Rashida Jones left Toy Story 4 early in the film's development after an unwanted advance from Lasseter.

Jones and writing partner Will McCormack did not respond to requests for comment, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Disney declined comment to THR, but the article quotes an unnamed studio source saying the writers' exit was due to "creative differences." Reportedly, Jones and McCormack will still be credited on Toy Story 4.

Lasseter is under fire following the revelation of a history of alleged inappropriate workplace behavior over the years. On Tuesday, Lasseter announced a six-month leave of absence from the studio, citing unnamed "missteps" in a memo to employees.

Toy Story 4 will be directed by Josh Cooley and is scheduled for a June 21, 2019 release. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are expected to return to their roles as Woody and Buzz Lightyear, but the full cast has yet to be announced.
