Justin Roiland, co-creator of the animated series Rick and Morty, was recently charged with domestic abuse allegations along with many others and has been waiting for his trial. Although the 42-year-old pleaded not guilty, his record does not back his claims, as some of his colleagues have come forth stating his abnormal behavior in the writers’ room of Rick and Morty.

Justin Roiland’s Deeds of Disgrace
Justin Roiland is currently facing 2 felony charges from an incident that occurred back in 2020, as he was charged with domestic violence against a woman he was dating at that time. Although he pleaded not guilty and was released on bail after getting arrested, this news struck a blow to his colleagues. Since then, multiple women who Roiland interacted with, came up with evidence against him as he communicated with them with lewd text messages and other requests.
One of his most noticeable deeds of disgrace was when he personally engaged in a text message conversation with the former editor of Mad magazine, Allie Goertz, and asked her to write a song about 9 d*cks hanging from her face and told her to write the lyrics for the song. When this conversation was leaked on Twitter by an underaged female user, he messaged her,
“You should just run away from home and go into s*x slavery YOU F*CKING STUPID F*GGOT B*TCH (!!!) (Jk)”
In 2020, Cartoon Network launched a formal investigation against Justin Roiland, but it has not been revealed if any actions have been taken against him. CN also declined to comment on any questions related to this incident.
Justin Roiland’s Harsh Work Place Environment

The Rick and Morty co-creators Roiland and Dan Harmon were not on friendly terms and haven’t spoken to each other for many years, as reported by his colleagues.

But when they hear from him it was not a piece of good news to hear as he was charged with domestic violence. Though he was investigated by the CN, it is not confirmed if any actions were taken against him.
