Rick And Morty's Justin Roiland fired from even more projects following abuse charges

Justin Roiland has now lost out on further projects in the works with Hulu and 20th Century Television issuing from his domestic violence charges and surrounding controversy.

Roiland is the co-creator of Rick and Morty and he used to voice the two titular characters. Adult Swim announced that he will no longer be involved in the remainder of the sci-fi sitcom, which has an order of 10 seasons, excluding a credit to Roiland for his contribution to the creation of Rick and Morty. His attorney maintains his innocence of the two felony counts of domestic battery with corporal injury and of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit that emerged out of 2020. Roiland pleaded not guilty and a protective order was filed against the actor to prevent him from harassing, threatening or surveilling the person specified.

As well as Adult Swim, now Hulu and 20th Century Television have severed ties with Roiland regarding the shows Solar Opposites and Koala Man. “We have ended our association with Justin Roiland,” said both parties in a statement to Variety. Solar Opposites stars Roiland as the main character, Korvo, and the show had been renewed to a fifth season before these events transpired. Moreover, the recently released Koala Man counted Roiland among its executive producers and he voiced the character Chad Wagon.

There are also disturbing allegations that Roiland sought out a 16-year-old child to sexualise in messages over Twitter. In conversations between the two, the actor told them to sell themselves into sex slavery and become a camgirl as soon as they were 18. At the moment, these are all supposed screenshots as the person involved deleted the posts and switched their account to private and Roiland himself has not acknowledged the veracity of the claims.
