Powerhouse Arena's owner, Daniel Power, confirmed that manager Hannah Hayes acted alone in canceling Joshua Leifer's book launch due to the pro-Israel views of the moderator. He described the decision as "out of character" and said staff were confused by her actions. Power mentioned that Hayes would soon leave for another bookstore, indicating potential motivation behind her unilateral decision. Powerhall's statement condemned her actions, emphasizing that it was misguided and that she violated the event planning protocols established by the store.
In a statement from Powerhouse Arena, they directly addressed Hayes' unilateral actions, stating: "A former employee of Powerhouse made the grossly misguided decision to unilaterally derail a high-anticipated event... She abused her position as a Powerhouse employee and wrongfully usurped responsibility for planning and logistics from our designated events managers." This statement highlights the bookstore's stance against her actions and reaffirms their commitment to proper event management protocols.
