He added fuel to the fire, talking about how unjustly he had been treated by the franchise. This, and the dedication he had to make sure that fans had the best watching experience for the animated series’ release, made audiences adore his dedication. They advocated for his spot in Marvel Studios and demanded the franchise take him back.
That was until a statement was issued that highlighted the reasons behind his firing. DeMayo has finally released his own response to Disney’s claims, and fans are making their judgments.

A Marvel spokesperson confessed to the outlet in a statement that the actor was, in fact, fired due to the “egregious nature of the findings” surrounding his behavior. Recently, DeMayo finally spoke on his side of the story (viaX-men Updates) and what he had to say was quite interesting.

The allegations of egregious misconduct are false, the rumors being spread around me online are lies.
He defiantly stated that the allegations were not based on reality and that the rumors were all false.
Fans Are Passing Their Verdict
It is safe to say that the drama surrounding Beau DeMayo has been quite a rollercoaster for fans. Considering all that has been going on, it is not surprising that the sentiments that fans have when it comes to the writer’s response to his allegations are mixed. One fan stated that they did not care about what DeMayo did as it was not illegal and his work onX-Men ’97was excellent.
Others pointed out that his departure from the set ofThe Witcherwas also under similar circumstances, prompting them to wonder about who is telling the truth. Paying attention to the response that he had to the accusations, one fan asked what the reason surrounding his firing was.
Then why’d they fire you g
Guess we’ll have to see but the staff of The Witcher made similar claims before he was fired off that show as well
I mean X-Men 97 was a masterpiece so unless he has done something criminal… I honestly don’t care.
And？Then explain everything clearly and stop trying to kidnap the gay community to defend you. Why were you fired? Why were your colleagues reported to HR? Did you send indecent photos to your colleagues?
Two points: One, he was fired from two hit shows. He didn’t leave on good terms. Two, there are allegations against him from both shows that lead to his firings. He’s poison. He may be very creative so he can write and sell ideas but he should never be showrunner again.

Other fans pointed out that if DeMayo is really in the right, then he should be transparent about all that happened, being direct about the claims made against him and debunking them one by one. Mistrust seems to be in the air as fans try to weigh the responses of both parties.
