CBS Paid Eliza Dushku $9.5 Million After Alleged Sexual Harassment, Termination
Days after confronting actor Michael Weatherly, a huge star for the network, Dushku was written off Bull. An investigation determined the company often protected itself at the expense of victims.
Actress Eliza Dushku reached a confidential $9.5 million settlement with CBS last year after claiming she was written off one of the network's most successful shows following her complaints of sexual harassment by the program's leading man.
The settlement became public as a result of an investigation by two independent law firms hired by the network's board to examine accusations of sexual misconduct against Leslie Moonves, the company's former chief executive, as well as "cultural issues at all levels of CBS," The New York Timesreported on Thursday.
