Allegation Of Sexual Harassment: Was Forced To Training Program While CBS Got Hands Off $9.5 Million

Michael Weatherly was accused of ‘sexual harassment’ by actress Eliza Dushku, who had signed to work in Bulls in March 2017.

In December 2018, rather than filing a lawsuit, Eliza made mediation with CBS, which earned her $9.5 million- roughly the figure she would earn if the actress worked on the show.
