I remember this because, at the time, one of my favorite TV shows was 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency', which Landis wrote. I was under the impression that the show was cancelled because of these allegations, probably because the activists were taking credit for that--even though it was really just poor ratings.
Landis has addressed these allegations extensively and publicly. It hasn't made any difference, of course. He now produces YouTube videos which are strange combinations of pitching movie ideas and acting them out. His career in the film industry is essentially dead, still, because he apologized for his behavior. As we all know, that is never seen by #metoo activists as anything other than unrepentant guilt.

Here he is, recently, talking about it yet again.
