* Voice actor Creator/TakahiroSakurai was dropped from his role as lead character Haruaki Kurama on ''Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds'' in March 2023 after ''Shūkan Bunshun'' revealed his 10-year-long extramarital affair seven months earlier. The role was eventually recast with Creator/KosukeToriumi. Sakurai also lost his role as the Medicine Seller in the upcoming ''Anime/{{Mononoke}}'' movie with Creator/HiroshiKamiya taking up the post, and he did not reprise his drama CD role of Jinshi in the anime adaptation of ''Manga/TheApothecaryDiaries'', with Creator/TakeoOtsuka taking up his post. However, this did not affect ongoing roles, such as [[Characters/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaibaHashira Giyuu Tomioka]], [[Characters/JujutsuKaisenCurseUsers Suguru Geto]], [[Characters/FinalFantasyVIIPlayableCharacters Cloud Strife]], and [[Characters/NarutoAkatsuki Sasori]].

* Creator/MikeHaimoto had been recast as Souji Okita midway through the second season of ''Manga/RecordOfRagnarok'' after fellow voice actress Creator/AverySmithhart had shared evidence that he had psychologically and sexually abused her, with Creator/AlejandroSaab succeeding him in the role.

'''[[Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease There is a two-week waiting period (after the termination of a role) before an example can be added.]]''' This ensures the job loss is accurately reported, actually sticks and avoids knee-jerk reactions. This includes "sneaking" the entries onto the pages ahead of time by adding them and then just commenting them out.

* Creator/ChrisNiosi, the English voice of Julius Euclius from ''Literature/ReZero'', had allegations of being emotionally and sexually abusive behind-the-scenes being held against him. He eventually admitted to his abusive behaviour and made a Website/{{Tumblr}} post apologizing for his abusive behaviour. He then took a break from voice acting for a little bit, with said role as Julius being [[TheOtherMarty replaced]] with Creator/AlejandroSaab. His upcoming role as Choromatsu from ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' was also [[TheOtherMarty replaced]], this time with Creator/SeanChiplock. At the very least, though, Creator/CartoonNetwork let him stay as the voice of Ernesto from ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes''.

* Creator/BrendanBlaber, one of the writers for ''Manga/LovelyComplex'''s dub, was blacklisted by both Sound Candace Studios and Creator/DiscotekMedia after he made a (now deleted) lengthy Patreon post calling the series (and the original author) terrible and saying that he is making it "better". The negative reception to this post also resulted in his version not being used.

** According to rumors, demands of a higher salary from [[Creator/{{KENN}} Kenichiro "KENN" Ohashi]] halfway through the production of season 4 of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' forced him to be axed and the entire season being CutShort. This became less surprising when one figures that lead character Judai Yuki was becoming [[SpotlightStealingSquad way too over-focused in the anime]], enough so that a salary raise wasn't out of the question.

** Creator/AlisonViktorin, best known for voicing Kuroko Shirai in ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Conan Edogawa in ''Manga/CaseClosed'' and QT in ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' among others, retired from voice acting in March 2021 due to her posting (and then deleting) several comments in support of the controversial pro-UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Capitol Riots to her public social media accounts, as well as the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. Viktorin has since been working on her personal blog.

** For nearly 20 years, Creator/VicMignogna was one of the most famous people in the voice-over industry, appearing in a wide variety of works for well over a decade as an actor, singer, and voice director. But his career was abruptly halted in February 2019 when a string of allegations spanning back at least a ''decade'', if not longer, regarding Mignogna engaging in sexually inappropriate behavior towards fans and his fellow voice actors arose, led to the hashtag [=#KickVic=]. This led to Creator/{{Funimation}}, Creator/BangZoomEntertainment and Creator/{{Studiopolis}} dropping Mignogna from their ongoing projects and recasting his roles. Mignogna sued Funimation and several individuals that April for defamation and tortious interference. The case was initially dismissed that October, and the judge ruled that Mignogna had to pay over $200,000 in attorney fees while granting Funimation right to continue charging him for any further investigations on their end, but then [[https://nyannet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Appellants-Brief.pdf moved to the Court of Appeals]] in February 2020. The appeal was [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LRWjemdsYa3ptIOKX667MablHzqnAUCc/view?usp=sharing_DFRhNXWosqA eventually rejected]] two years later, with him paying even ''more'' to the people he sued, ''and'' he was later denied a court re-hearing in October 2022. He appealed to the [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uugqRrTxbxvD5ow2H5IlwD84IUO-lYRY/view?usp=share_link Texas Supreme Court]] in November and [[https://www.txcourts.gov/supreme/orders-opinions/2022/december/december-30-2022/ denied]] in December.
