Amazon Studios head Roy Price — suspended “indefinitely” this past week after being accused of sexual harassment — was about to marry writer Lila Feinberg in four weeks but she has now called off the wedding.
Feinberg and Price were to tie the knot on Nov. 12 in a lavish ceremony at The Carlyle on Madison Avenue, but multiple sources confirm that Feinberg — an award-winning playwright and TV writer — has just canceled it.
Price was accused of lewdly propositioning Isa Dick Hackett, a producer on Amazon’s hit show “The Man in the High Castle.” He allegedly approached her at Comic-Con 2015, allegedly telling her, “You will love my dick.”
Hackett is the daughter of the late Philip K. Dick, who wrote the acclaimed novel on which “The Man in the High Castle” is based.
A source close to the couple confirmed to Page Six, “Lila is currently in New York and she has called off the wedding.”
The bride was due to wear Marchesa at the nupitials, custom-designed by Harvey Weinstein’s wife, Georgina Chapman, who this past week announced she was leaving the movie mogul after a staggering list of women leveled allegations of sexual harassment, assault and, in a few cases, rape against him.
Price and Weinstein are said to be close friends.
Feinberg, who was awarded Araca Group’s National Graduate Playwriting Award for her play “Vertebrae,” is also the creator and executive producer of “12 Parties,” an original series that was acquired by The Weinstein Company. She has also sold projects to Legendary Television and MTV.
Amazon said in a statement this past week, “Roy Price is on leave of absence effective immediately. We are reviewing our options for the projects we have with The Weinstein Company.”
Feinberg declined to comment, and Price’s attorney, Charles Harder, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
