Ryan Millsap's private communications exhibit derogatory views toward Black and Jewish communities.
The Big Story
Thu. Apr 18, 2024

The former owner of an Atlanta film studio has been praised for diversity efforts. His text messages tell a different story.

Today’s Big Story was reported by Nicole Carr of ProPublica’s South team, in partnership with Mike Jordan of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. To report this investigation, Carr and Jordan combed through hundreds of pages of text messages submitted as evidence in an ongoing legal fight involving the former studio owner, Ryan Millsap. As Millsap formed prominent relationships with Black leaders and Jewish colleagues in Atlanta, court documents submitted by his former attorney allege he privately expressed racist and antisemitic views.
