New CBS sexual harassment infrastructure seems to be working just as poorly as previous policy
Two women quit the CBS sitcom “Carol’s Second Act” after, they allege, the network’s new sexual harassment policy failed them after David Huntmade a formal complaint against Hunt, who is an executive producer on the show, in early September, alleging Hunt inappropriately. Gupta’s allegation would test the new infrastructure for handling sexual harassment complaints at CBS that was put in place in May.
She was seated on a high folding chair, the kind known as a director’s chair, on the lot. Ms. Magee, the co-executive producer, was seated next to her as Mr. Hunt approached. He seemed to be looking for something, Ms. Gupta and Ms. Magee said, when he took Ms. Gupta by the shoulders and jerked her forward. Ms. Magee jumped out of her chair and said, “Excuse me,” she told The Times. Mr. Hunt said nothing and walked away, the two women said.
The “Ms. Magee” is Margee Magee, a 43-year-old writer and co-executive producer on the sitcom. Magee told thethat she encouraged Gupta to go to the showrunners. Gupta talked to HR executive after that conversation.to be fired when she made her complaint to HR. “I told them just my own personal code of ethics, which is that if there is space for education instead of punitive measures, then I believe in education,” she told the newspaper.
