Eliza Dushku, known for her role in “Bull,” complained of inappropriate behavior by Michael Weatherly on set, including comments about spanking and threesomes. Weatherly, who described the remarks as jokes, also made an inappropriate comment about a van.
Dushku entered mediation with CBS, and a draft report from a CBS-authorized investigation revealed that the network tried to disprove her claims but inadvertently supported them with outtakes. The $9.5 million settlement reflected Dushku’s potential earnings as a series regular. CBS acknowledged the settlement, stating it was determined through a mutually agreed-upon mediation process. The investigators’ report highlighted larger problems at CBS.
