Report: Sexual misconduct investigation conducted at EA, names of suspects and exposure of their actions

Workplace misconduct is not new in any field, but over the years the dark history of sexual misconduct in the gaming industry has come to light, and these revelations don’t seem to be stopping any time soon. This time it’s a group of experienced developers from Electronic Arts (EA) who are at the center of the storm.

Former Call of Duty developer and now studio head at Midnight Society Robert Bowling called and named people who allegedly behaved inappropriately towards female colleagues.

According to Bowling, over the past 2.5 months, EA has been conducting an internal sexual misconduct investigation against Jordan Adams, Dev Director of Plants vs. Zombies, and Matthew Angeleri, Director of Partnerships at EAX.

So what did these two people do to warrant an investigation? Apparently, Jordan Adams video-called his female colleagues and then committed lewd acts on himself. Adams also sent pornographic videos to female colleagues and even mentioned them in EA Slack conversations.

Matthew Angeleri invited his colleagues to stay at his home with his wife during their Vegas visit, where they were provided free lodging and lodging. Although this appeared to be an act of goodwill, Angeleri sexually harassed the female colleagues in private and even created videos in which he performed lewd acts on himself.

For reference, Bowling is the partner of one of the victims and even a witness in the evidence. He even states that he has a picture of Adams’ genitals on her iPad.

We’ve reached out to Bowling to get some more information to see how things will be handled now that EA’s investigation is complete. Although no one disputes that Bowling did any of the things mentioned, according to EA, it appears that given the events that occurred outside of work between two adults and the fact that the alleged perpetrators did not do anything again after the investigation began , The investigation is considered completed.

Here’s the messed up part: the victim Despite it must work with the people who harassed her. Bowling’s follow-up message to us also states that one of the victim’s managers did a great job taking on additional work so that she no longer had to interact with Mathew and respond on her behalf when needed.

No matter what field you work in, sexual misconduct and harassment have no place in the workplace. We’ve reached out to EA for comment on this investigation and will update if we hear back.
