"In 2023, Drew Dixon, a former vice president of A&R at Arista Records, alleged Reid had groped and digitally penetrated her without consent on two separate occasions while she worked at the label. The first incident reportedly took place on a private plane to a company retreat; the second in Reid's car. After Dixon rebuffed Reid at future outings, she claims he derailed her career."
"In a statement to Pitchfork, an attorney for Reid wrote that their client had "amicably resolved this matter with Ms. Dixon without any admission of liability." "Drew Dixon is an extraordinarily talented music executive, and this resolution will empower her to move forward with her creative pursuits-on her own terms-with her reputation, her voice, and her career reaffirmed," Dixon's attorney, Kenya Davis, said in a statement to Pitchfork."
L.A. Reid reached a settlement with Drew Dixon, who accused him of groping and digitally penetrating her without consent on two occasions while she worked at Arista Records. The alleged incidents occurred on a private plane to a company retreat and inside Reid's car. Dixon filed her civil suit under the Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily reopened the window for claims past the statute of limitations. An attorney for Reid said the matter was amicably resolved without any admission of liability. Dixon has said the resolution allows her to move forward and continue advocacy for safer industry practices.
