Rick and Mortyn luojan Justin Roilandin vuosi 2023 alkoi kaameissa merkeissä, sillä häntä syytettiin kotiväkivallasta ("domestic violence"). Tämän seurauksena sekä Adult Swim että High on Life -pelin kehittäjä Squanch Games katkoivat välinsä tyystin, ja siinä sivussa muutakin vahinkoa tehtiin. Ja kaikki aivan syyttä suotta.
Roiland on kertonut Twitterissä, että syytteet on nyt hylätty. Ura ja maine kuitenkin tuhottiin jo, joten se niin sanottu "kanselointi" onnistui.
"I have always known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come. I'm thankful that this case has been dismissed but, at the same time, I'm still deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process. Most of all, I'm disappointed that so many people were so quick to judge without knowing the facts, based solely on the word of an embittered ex trying to bypass due process and have me "canceled." That it may have succeeded, even partially, is shameful. However, now that the legal case has ended, I'm determined to move forward and focus both on my creative projects and restoring my good name."
