Steven Spielberg Backs Away from Bull Over Sexual Harassment Claims, but CBS Renews It
- Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television is pulling out of CBS' "Bull" after a sexual harassment allegation against star Michael Weatherly. The network’s multi-million-dollar settlement with Eliza Dushku over sexual harassment claims against the show’s star, Michael Weatherly, came to light last year. It appears that Steven Spielberg and CBS feel differently about how to handle sexual harassment allegations against the star of a lucrative series. Steven and his production shingle Amblin TV have decided to ditch Bull, while CBS opted Thursday to renew it. Last year, CBS paid $9.5 million to settle sexual harassment claims from Eliza Dushku, who joined the cast in 2017 and said in a first-person piece for The Boston Globe that star Michael Weatherly had harassed her, and when she complained she was written off the show. Weatherly remains the star of Bull, which will return to CBS in the fall for its fourth season. Amblin Television co-heads Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey and Spielberg all served as executive producers on Bull for the first three seasons.
- None of these sexual harassment accusations against Weatherly have been proven in court, and the actor has not been charged with any crime.
