New Zealand pop star Lorde’s previous manager, Scott Maclachlan, has been booted out of Warner for sexual harassment claims.

Warner made a statement about the decision to terminate his contract.

“Warner Music is committed to providing a safe, professional environment for all our team. Our Code of Conduct is very clear regarding harassment of any kind. All allegations are treated seriously and action is taken if any employee’s behaviour has breached that code.

“We investigated what we believed to be an isolated incident in 2018, with the assistance of an external expert, and we went further than they advised with disciplinary actions. Now that we’ve learned about these additional incidents, we’ve terminated Scott Maclachlan’s employment contract with immediate effect.”
