CBS released a press statement responding to the story:
“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. The settlement of these claims was determined in a mutually agreed upon mediation process at the time.”
Dushku herself signed a non-disclosure agreement as part of her settlement, so she can’t comment on the story publicly. Instead, it comes from CBS’ own internal investigation into sexual misconduct at the network, stemming from the actions of former chief Les Moonves . According to the report, Dushku told the investigators looking into her story this:
“You’re all I have at this point. My story is true and it’s really affected me and I can’t talk about it.”
Michael Weatherly has also declined to comment publicly on the story as of this writing.
