Stephanie Nadolny / Stephanie Ann Nadolny / stephvox - The Whistleblower

[Scarlett Johansson]

Would it be good to have a thread on her? Not to dox of course but to just keep track of the situation with her and Funimation.

She is without a doubt the one true victim besides Vic.

Stephanie Ann Nadolny





Best known as Kid Gohan, Nadolny was unfortunately in the crosshairs of Chris Sabat, who fired her from the role. She was replaced by Colleen Clinkenbeard. Its believed that multiple DUI's as well as her refusal to sleep with Sabat culminated in her firing.

Sabat:

Stephanie doesn’t work on anything, not just DB.

Here is Sabat answering a question why she is no longer voicing her character in December 2017:

Christopher Sabat on Twitter

“@DatCrust Linda still does voice work, but the Frieza on Kai and Super speaks way faster than the original Frieza from original DBZ. We tried, but Linda’s tricky Frieza voice made it impossible for her to deliver the lines at the new pace. Stephanie doesn’t work on anything, not just DB.”

She's going on a liking spree which only serves to make her case stronger imo.

 

[Plank]

If she is going to come forward with her casting couch/sexual harassment experience with Chris Sabat then it is moot, but if there is one question I would want to know from her immediately it would be did she report him to Funimation HR and if so was she ignored.

IMO, that would be the single most important bit of information for the current case.

Considering that according to past employees Funi didn't have an HR department, by default she was ignored.

If she has evidence and thr casting couch story pans out, she has a ready made case for a hostile work environment. Getting sexually extorted in a company where there's no place to report that? She could burn the whole thing down worse than Vic.

Look at how quickly she changed sides.

I agree.

But my point was that if she doesn't want to join the shitshow as a full participant, the single most helpful thing to Vic's case would be an affidavit that states she brought her sexual harassment claims to Funimation HR(or management) and they were ignored. She doesn't even need to name Sabat.

In the Maven Collectibles interview some notes after very quick listen:

* Her description of Funimation is very much in sync with much of what we have learned from the lawsuit fillings
* She describes the place as dominated by an in-crowd of friends
* She mentions how she took her work seriously while much of the clique just thought it was cool to be working with their friends. This syncs with Funimation managers scolding Vic over his wanting to repeat takes to get things right while the director just wanted to move on
* Also her description of the lack of professionalism gives further insight why the in-crowd desperately wanted to keep Vic from the director job he was about to take on at Funimation. A bunch of friends who clearly just want to fuck around and get paid clearly don't want someone like Vic who is going to want people acting like professional adults on his projects.
* She mentions that just like Vic she was kept in the dark about being dropped or let go

A very clear picture of the internal working environment is coming out from independent sources.

Haven't seen this posted yet. Could be promising.

Good Kami, how in the fuck has Funimation stayed in business for this long if they've been dicking around since practically the beginning? What's the origin story on Funimation, anyway? Like why did Justin Cook and friends found it and pulled off randos (like Sean, apparently) from off the streets? How did Stephanie get a job at Funimation, and just what was it that kept her from becoming a part of their clique or be a respected colleague outside of wrongthink?

I'm thinking at this point, Tiffany Vollmer and perhaps Meredith McCoy are the other missing puzzle pieces. Linda Young, too, but I don't know if she'll ever come forward if just because of her son. Also, I've noticed a pattern between these four women:

Spoiler: Coincidence? Most likely.

I'm becoming a little more convinced that this is legit.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

I doubt that Linda was a victim since her son voiced tien since funimation had the dubbing rights, if she got replaced due to sexual extortion her son would've been fired.

how in the fuck has Funimation stayed in business for this long if they've been dicking around since practically the beginning?

Mostly because nobody was paying attention to their stupidity. Dragon ball was in its peak popularity so toei probably didn't bother keeping an watchful eye.

 

[UA 674]

None of this really warrants a thread, because this is under the assumption that she won't be doxed and that everything posted here is 100% accurate and fact-based when no such statements have been made by her, likes by itself are not sufficient evidence.

 

[AlexJonesGotMePregnant]

Why does stephanie have a thread?

1. We know almost nothing about her at this point
2. You assume the rumors are true
3. You assume the unauthenticated screen shots are real

There's little to discuss on her at the moment and having a separate thread will only produce more rampant speculation on completely unverified things. The OP is empty of facts because there are none.

 

[Somnius]

So, we have Broly, #17, and Young Goku/Gohan vs. Funimation. We're in pretty good hands.

Blond hair, blue eyes?
Aryan nazis!
Of course!

I don't know if I would be disappointed or find it beyond amusing if people were fired solely for having blond hair and blue eyes.

Both is good.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

Not to mention Goku and Vegeta are both pretty much in HFIL at the moment.

It all comes down to getting the right licenses. Gen Fukunaga, who founded the company and dragged in other people he worked with or knew at the time had family that worked at Toei. Because Nepotism is big in Japan he used this to get a food in the door at Toei who didn't care about his piddly startup at the time. Then convinced people to invest in his business on the back of getting Dragonball. Everyone sucked their dick for having all the big Toei productions and they soon developed a monopoly of the business and began eating other distributors. They pretty much got to the top thanks to nepotism and being ruthless,practices the company seems to carry forward at every level.

They have more competition now but until Toei drops them, and they won't because family ties, they'll still hold a monopoly of large franchises. It's been hard for distributors to survive without working with them or being bought out. Even online rival Crunchyroll has made deals to acquire titles. The biggest UK distributor fairly recently was bought out by funimation that netted them the rights to a lot of classic anime too.
