Director Brett Ratner has been spotted in Los Angeles canoodling with a mystery woman.
The disgraced Rush Hour director was walking side-by-side with a brunette Sunday amid sexual harassment and assault accusations by a half-dozen woman.
The accusations have cost the 49-year-old everything, including a $450milllion deal with Warner Brothers and directing the fourth installment in the Rush Hour franchise.
In November, six woman came forward to expose Ratner in a Los Angeles Times article, including actresses Olivia Munn, Natasha Henstridge, and his former assistant Melanie Kohler accused him of rape.

The mystery brunette was in a black mini skirt and red and white striped tank top, appearing to be smitten by Ratner as they left lunch.
He is accused of an array of acts, including harassment, inappropriate touching and forced oral sex.
In the Los Angeles Times expose, model-turned actress, 43, said Ratner forced her into performing oral sex on him back in the early 90s after.
‘He strong-armed me in a real way. He physically forced himself on me,’ said Henstridge, who was 19 at the time.
‘At some point, I gave in and he did his thing.’
Also coming forward was actress Olivia Munn, who claimed the director masturbated in front of her back in 2004 when she was asked to deliver food to his trailer on the set of ‘After the Sunset.’
‘He walked out … with his belly sticking out, no pants on, shrimp cocktail in one hand and he was furiously masturbating in the other,’ said Munn.
‘And before I literally could even figure out where to escape or where to look, he ejaculated.’
His former assistant, Melanie Kohler, claimed she was raped by Ratner more than a decade ago.
She said she stood by her claim, despite Ratner and his lawyer Martin Singer filing a lawsuit against her in Hawaii
Ratner denied all allegations.

‘Brett Ratner vehemently denies the outrageous derogatory allegations that have been reported about him, and we are confident that his name will be cleared once the current media frenzy dies down and people can objectively evaluate the nature of these claims,’ his attorney said.
However, Warner Brothers chose not to renew the $450 million four-year deal the studio signed with RatPac Entertainment in 2013, the global media company formed by Ratner, Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and Australian billionaire James Packer.
Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Rampage,’ released in April, was the last movie in the 75 film agreement that the two will work together on.
However, last week sources claim Ratner had been telling associates he will direct the fourth Rush Hour series.
Warner Bros denied those claims.
