Former Arista A&R executive (artist and repertoire) Drew Dixon has slammed promiscuous former married CEO, Antonio "L.A." Reid for sexually harassing her in the work place. Dixon stated on Twitter, "Toya didn't blow up because I wouldn't sleep w/ @LA_Reid. I signed her and made the album. When I refused to "listen to Toya's album" in L.A. Reid's hotel room, he killed her promo budget."

This is the exact thing Reid got in trouble for regarding another female music executive. Dixon is one of many women Reid targeted, so much so, one grew fed up and sued Sony Music, leading to his termination for sexual harassment and embezzlement. Reid had summoned a former assistant to his hotel room during an alleged business trip, then demanded she lay in bed and hold him.

TLC, L.A. Reid and Pebbles in 1992. Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas had to have sex with Reid to get into wife Pebbles' group TLC, unbeknownst to Pebbles at the time.

Previously, Reid infamous summoned 18-year-old interns to his office at former label Def Jam, demanding they perform oral sex on him (Joe Budden Calls Antonio Reid A Sexual Predator). Reid's behavior was completely appalling and predatory.

Reid's Hitco label is currently struggling, as he doesn't have former songwriting and production partner, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, as well as Reid's ex-wife, Pebbles, to prop him up. Babyface was writing a lot of the songs at LaFace. Pebbles was signing many of the artists at LaFace, finding songs and producer/songwriters to come up with material. However, as L.A. took the title of CEO at Arista, he got most of the credit.

Don't get me wrong, Reid is a good drummer and wrote a few songs, such as the hit "Every Little Step" which ironically was about Pebbles, but Babyface was doing most of the work in the studio. Notice when they split as production partners Reid stopped writing and producing music, but 30-years later Babyface is still making songs. Songwriter/producers Dallas Austin and Daryl Simmons, respectively, were also a part of the Laface label success.
