Why Has Beau DeMayo Been Severely Blacklisted by Disney?

Shortly before the premiere of ‘X-Men ’97’, Beau DeMayo, the show’s creator, was abruptly terminated by the company. His company email was deactivated without warning, and both Disney and his representatives have chosen not to disclose the reasons behind his dismissal. DeMayo deleted his social media accounts and did not publicly address the circumstances surrounding his departure.

Recently, DeMayo clarified that he had written season 2 of ‘X-Men ’97’ but would no longer be involved in its production. Fans expressed relief upon learning this, as many had campaigned for his reinstatement due to the show’s quality. Some even advocated for him to lead the writing team for the upcoming ‘X-Men’ MCU reboot, currently in development.

Not only did this fail to materialize, but recent developments have revealed that his script for season 2 has been revised, sparking anger and disappointment among fans who now fear the second season may suffer.

This has led many fans to question: what could Beau DeMayo have done to be dismissed so swiftly?

We can’t confirm anything definitive, only rumors from industry insiders that emerged shortly after DeMayo’s termination. The prevailing speculation suggests that the writers may have been let go due to having an OnlyFans account. However, DeMayo’s account was not as controversial as one might expect, mostly centered around discussions of his writing processes.

Several days after DeMayo’s dismissal, industry insider Jeff Sneider suggested that DeMayo was let go due to being “difficult to work with,” citing a series of other problematic issues that compounded over time. Sneider refrained from divulging further details, citing an upcoming newsletter. Additionally, Rocha noted that DeMayo’s presence on OnlyFans exacerbated the situation, despite it being non-sexual and showcasing his work on projects.

Similar rumors surfaced following DeMayo’s departure from ‘The Witcher’ production, although both incidents quickly faded. Several weeks later, Marvel Executive Winderbaum commented on the termination, describing it as a mutual parting of ways, hinting at an amicable split.

Until official confirmation or a statement from DeMayo clarifies the situation, the true reasons behind his departure remain uncertain.
