Talent scout DJ spotted Dushku long ago
LOL. If Weatherly were truly a sexist pig, I doubt he would have stayed on NCIS so many years.
Riiiight.
According to this, the suits at CBS should be headed for JAIL.
They were never strong to begin with. People who are strong, or wise, or virtuous, or whatever don't have to tell you about it. It shows in their conduct.
I could take her more seriously had she not let the paparazzi repeatedly catch her in below-the-belt wardrobe failures.
She was really pretty in Bottle Shock.
I disagree with those who say the victim’s career is over for
complaining about “Hollywood” sexual harassment.
Its the perps Like Moonves, Charlie Rose, Weinstein, and many others who’s careers are over.
Dozens of famous actresses endured this type of creepy treatment. They let their ambition come before common sense.
There careers are not over and neither is Eliza’s who has been acting since the 1990’s.
Eliza as I remember from the only show I saw her in the tv show Dollhouse is a very sultry beauty. Its acting and I don’t assume acting like a mental patient means that is what your like off camera.
This is a funny Youtube video of Eliza playing a Krav Maga instructor.

She could probably have beaten Micheal Weatherly up.
I don’t think her career is over but extending ill-defined sexual harassment law to Hollywood has the chance to destroy that entire industry and, even if you hate Hollywood, erase billions of dollars worth of wealth created by an American industry every year. Sex is a part of movies, TV and theater. It always has been. What happened to Eliza Dushku was horrible. No one disputes that. The fact that sexual predators have made themselves lucrative homes as agents and producers in the television and motion picture industries is horrible and that need to be rooted out. ALL of them, particularly the sexual predator that works for CAA and is married to Alyssa Milano. That’s how deep the problem is in that industry. But the fact the fact that CBS paid $9.5 million and whatever legal fees it did over on-set WORDS, just words, shows how ridiculous the ill-defined “harassment” law, itself, is. They SHOULD have taken it to trial but likely didn’t because they knew such a spectacle would destroy “Bull” and any money it could make for them down the road. They chose to pay it off, which is cowardly. Warner Brothers actually did the entire industry a GREAT service when they refused to back down to a former intern who claimed “harassment” because of sexual jokes told in the “Friends” writer’s room. The female former intern wanted a similar payout because one of her male co-writers said Jennifer Aniston would have sex with him if he asked her nicely. The case went to trial and a judge ruled that, yes, sexual banter is a part of the writing process for a COMEDY show like “Friends.” If defendants don’t stand up against ill-defined law then harassment creep will continue unabated.
I miss “The League”... an entire show that would be called “harassment” today. Particularly any storyline involving Jenny.
$9.5 mil will help assuage the loss.
She was married to the guy who owns the Intercontinental Real Estate Group so money never really was her motivating factor in the first place.
they paid her off not to mention she works with a king sized jerk. and he is! Nobody wants to hear the fantasies that are running thru your head. Call a sex line for that.
Ayup.
Read the article!!!
She was WRITTEN OFF THE SHOW for this, it had NOTHING to do with the joke itself. The settlement amount was to pay for the LOST INCOME the network deemed was owed to her.
I see an ankle monitor in your future.
She was written off the show because she didn’t want to keep working with Wetherly. The show has his name and face on it. Do you honestly think Paramount’s telling the truth when it says Roseanne without Roseanne is doing well?
Is I don’t like my co-worker now a reason to re-write entire shows that audiences already like? How well did that work out for “Two and a Half Men?”
I agree this stuff is ridiculous.
However, this is the wrong chick to mess with. She has directed her own series and has been posturing herself as the film version of Gloria Allred. I have heard Weatherly has had these troubles before.
Yes, let’s be sure to trust THIS Big Media article, because it’s pretty well written and seems to have nothing to do with politics.
Anyone who’s seen NCIS (I haven’t watched it since Mindy’s anti-semitic husband took over) knows his character has similarly mistreated many co-stars’ characters.
Likely part of his schtick, and now her payday.
