The New York City Ballet must reinstate two male dancers who were fired for sharing nude photos of women and sexually explicit texts, an arbitrator ruled Friday. Catazaro said he was "grateful and relieved" at the ruling but would not return to City Ballet. While denying that it condoned mistreatment of women, the ballet company terminated the contracts of Ramasar and Catazaro. City Ballet said in a statement that it believes it was within its rights to fire the dancers but will abide by the ruling. A lawyer for Waterbury said the arbitrator's ruling does not affect "the pending lawsuit designed to hold the New York City Ballet and others accountable."
