Eliza Dushku: I worked at CBS. I didn’t want to be sexually harassed. I was fired

The narrative propagated by CBS, actor Michael Weatherly, and writer-producer Glenn Gordon Caron is deceptive and in no way fits with how they treated me on the set of the television show “Bull’’ and retaliated against me for simply asking to do my job without relentless sexual harassment. This is not a “he-said/she-said” case. Weatherly’s behavior was captured on CBS’s own videotape recordings.

I feel compelled to chronicle what actually happened after The New York Times published a story about how CBS handled my allegations. I declined to be interviewed for that piece because I wanted to honor the terms of my settlement with the network. I was under the impression that Weatherly and Caron would also not respond per our settlement. Instead, both commented to the Times in what amounted to more deflection, denial, and spin.

Give them hell Eliza!

Ten million dollars will help ease the pain.

[SJSAMPLE]

Wow. This is very different from the official CBS account, but they did pay her nearly $10 million. You don’t do that when you have the upper hand.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Guilty.

[Rummyfan]

And received an almost ten million dollar settlement. So what is she bitching about? Want to keep working? Give the money back.

[max americana]

she’s a leftard but she sort of got some brain cells working when she had a rightwing boyfriend who loved to hunt and she came along for the experience..

If duct tape or Rohypnol is not involved, it isn’t compensable.

The condition CBS required of me was that I not speak about what happened. I really struggled with this and still do. Some online “posters” have called it hush money. Headlines have called it a “secret settlement.’’How was I to get paid? I have worked in this industry for close to 30 years. I faced a wrongful termination, the prospect of a three-to-five year lawsuit, and million-dollar legal fees for a war with a massive corporation. And where would that war have been fought? According to the fine print in my contract with CBS, I was required to submit to a “confidential” arbitration, where all “proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed.” No judge, no jury, and no chance of anyone finding out what really happened (or so they hoped).

Worthless without pics...

rhymes with witch...…..

[ClearCase_guy]

The Liberal do-gooders who run the Entertainment business are just pigs. And they totally abuse people in the industry, like Eliza.

And, as a result, she hates Trump and all Republicans.

[SMGFan]

why?

” I declined to be interviewed for that piece because I wanted to honor the terms of my settlement with the network. I was under the impression that Weatherly and Caron would also not respond per our settlement.”

NDA non-disclosure agreements no longer mean anything.

[a fool in paradise]

NOW is okay with sexually propositioning women at work and even unasked touching so long as there is no further groping after the first “NO”.

[Vendome]

I’d hit that and she’d be happy...

[smalltownslick]

You signed it.

[poinq]

There are jerks out there. There are also women who take offense at everything. I think this is mostly just a jerk.

[Nifster]

Apparently Bull thinks he’s still Tony Dinozzo

[Nifster]

She ain’t bitching. Weatherly et al ok’d the confidentiality agreement minimizing his behaviour and the wrongful termination. She was merely setting the record straight

Moo vees is a pig pure and simple. He encourages it.

[Nifster]

Weatherly and CBS broke the agreement by discussing it and her. She is free to respond
