CBS stands by ‘Bull,’ its star in wake of misconduct claim

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — “Bull” star Michael Weatherly remains loved by viewers despite Eliza Dushku’s claim of on-set sexual harassment against him, CBS said in defending its decision to keep the show and the actor on the air.
Weatherly and the drama’s executive producer, Glenn Gordon Caron, are receiving “leadership coaching,” CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said Thursday.
The actor is taking responsibility “as the head of a show to make the set a positive place to work,” Kahl said.
Dushku has said she was written off “Bull” after complaining that Weatherly remarked on her appearance and made jokes involving sex and rape in front of cast and crew in early 2017. Last year, the allegation and a $9.5 million confidential settlement reached with Dushku were made public in a report by The New York Times.
