According to reports, the cast recently celebrated the end of filming.

"Honestly, there's an issue at the moment where there's a lot of people being accused of things, they're being accused by multiple victims, and it's compelling and frightening," said "Fantastic Beasts 2" director Yates, as reported by NME. "With Johnny, it seems to me there was one person who took a pop at him and claimed something."
