After the sexual assault accusations against Z list actor Cas Anvar (who plays Alex Kamal in the tv show) surfaced, Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham (the authors of the book series who publish under the pen name James SA Corey) released statements :
And, if I may, a wholehearted thank you to those who were brave enough to bring this to us. We hear you. This will get the attention and action such serious allegations deserve. I'm staking my reputation on it.
— James S.A. Corey (@JamesSACorey) June 26, 2020
So one of the core cast of #TheExpanse has been accused of sexual misconduct. We immediately passed these serious accusations onto the studio, Alcon. Alcon has engaged an independent firm to investigate this matter and takes these allegations very seriously.

Wes Chatham (Amos Burton) also talked about it on his twitter account:
The past few days have been a whirlwind but I want you to know that you are heard. I'm committed to advocate for those who have been mistreated at a place in time where all voices should be heard, and accusations should be treated seriously.

The rest of the main cast members also decided to release statements that were shared in the James SA Corey accoung because Steven Strait (James Holden) donesn't have social media accounts and Dominique Tipper (Naomi Nagata) recently left twitter:
"I just wanted to reach out to let you know that we hear you. An independent, third party firm has been engaged by our studio, Alcon, to investigate. These very serious allegations are being treated with the utmost respect and gravity they deserve.
— James S.A. Corey (@JamesSACorey) June 26, 2020
Sincerely,
Steven."
