Amazon defended comic book writer Ed Brubaker against sexual and racial harassment allegations made by former production assistant Ijaaz Noohu. According to Amazon and Brubaker's lawyers, Noohu is described as an "opportunist, not a victim." The lawyers pointed out that Noohu waited 20 months to file the lawsuit and did so right before significant news about "Criminal," the comic book series he created.

They also criticized Noohu for making sensational claims, such as the allegation that Brubaker pointed a functional firearm at his face and pulled the trigger, which they said is "pure invention." The lawyers stated that if such an incident had occurred, it would have been reported, especially in the post-"Rust" industry with heightened awareness of firearms.
