伊丽莎·杜什库 (Eliza Dushku) 周二在众议院司法委员会面前就她在《公牛》(Bull) 期间的性骚扰指控作证。
2018 年，CBS 同意向 Dushku 支付 950 万美元，因为她声称自己被取消了“公牛”，以报复她对迈克尔·韦瑟利提出的指控。
在国会之前，杜什库能够在保密协议之外进行谈话。
这位女演员在她的证词中说：“2017 年，我被 CBS 积极追捧，成为一个名为‘Bull'的节目的联合主演。有人告诉我，这个角色将是一个六年的承诺，扮演一个聪明、坚强的女主角——一个称职的、高权力的律师，旨在平衡现有的男主角，这个角色是专门为我而写的. 然而，在我新工作的第一周，我发现自己首当其冲地受到粗暴、性化和猥亵的言语攻击。我几乎不断地遭受来自我的联合主演的性骚扰。”
杜什库补充说，韦瑟利称她为“腿”，并谈到了他的精子。
“在录制我们的节目的过程中，我开了一些笑话来嘲笑剧本中的一些台词。当伊丽莎告诉我她对我的语言和幽默尝试感到不舒服时，我为冒犯了她而感到羞愧并立即道歉，”韦瑟利在 2018 年告诉《纽约时报》。“在进一步反思之后，我更好地理解我说的话既不好笑也不恰当，我很抱歉并后悔这给伊丽莎带来的痛苦。”
“杜什库女士的指控就是一个例子，尽管我们仍然致力于营造安全、包容和相互尊重的工作场所所定义的文化，但我们的工作还远未完成，”哥伦比亚广播公司在 CNN 的一份声明中表示。协议。 “这些索赔的和解反映了杜什库女士作为系列常规合同的剩余部分将收到的预计金额，并且是在当时双方商定的调解过程中确定的。”
杜什库说，她希望帮助其他人结束她觉得被迫进入的涉及她的指控的秘密仲裁程序。
Eliza Dushku details harassment accusations at 'Bull' to congress
Eliza Dushku testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday about her sexual harassment accusations during her time on "Bull."
In 2018, CBS agreed to pay Dushku $9.5 million after she claimed she was written off of "Bull" in retaliation for accusations she came forward with against Michael Weatherly.
Before Congress, Dushku was able to talk outside a non-disclosure agreement.
The actress said in her testimony: "In 2017, I was aggressively pursued by CBS to become a co-lead in a show called 'Bull.' I was told that the role would be a six-year commitment to play a smart, strong leading lady — a competent, high-powered lawyer meant to counter balance the existing male lead, and that the role had been written specifically with me in mind. However, in my first week on my new job I found myself the brunt of crude, sexualized and lewd verbal assaults. I suffered near constant sexual harassment from my co-star."
Dushku added that Weatherly called her "legs" and talked about his sperm.
"During the course of taping our show, I made some jokes mocking some lines in the script. When Eliza told me that she wasn't comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized," Weatherly told the New York Times in 2018. "After reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza."
"The allegations in Ms. Dushku's claims are an example that, while we remain committed to a culture defined by a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace, our work is far from done," CBS said in a statement to CNN around the time of the agreement. "The settlement of these claims reflects the projected amount that Ms. Dushku would have received for the balance of her contract as a series regular, and was determined in a mutually agreed upon mediation process at the time."
Dushku said she is hoping to help end for others the secret arbitration process she felt forced to enter involving her allegations.
