A Netflix executive was fired from his high-paying job after he revealed during a company 'trust' retreat that he had previously taken medically prescribed ketamine, according to a lawsuit.
Kevin Baillie, the vice president and head of creative at Eyeline Studios, is suing the streaming service after it launched an investigation into his revelation and dismissed him for the confession, according to the New York Post.
Eyeline is the unified visual effects (VFX) and virtual production brand owned by Netflix.
Baillie, who made $1.1 million a year in his role, attended the retreat at the Sendero Ranch, an exclusive property in Northern California that is owned by the streaming giant, in January, the filing read.
During a 'vulnerability-trust exercise,' Baillie, 48, revealed that he took the drug under medical supervision in October and November 2022 at a Santa Barbara clinic to treat his clinical depression after the death of his mother, per the lawsuit.
