Universal Spokesperson Statement Regarding EEOC Suit Against Universal Pictures

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is being issued by Universal Pictures:

Universal Pictures categorically denies the EEOC's accusation. Multiple witnesses have testified that Mr. Davis was replaced on "2 Fast 2 Furious" solely for his inadequate performance as first assistant director. For "2 Fast 2 Furious," Universal Pictures assembled one of the most diverse cast and crews ever, and did not, and would not, single out any individual for replacement because of his race.
