Actress Eliza Dushku claims she was written off the CBS drama Bull after reporting sexual harassment by the show's lead actor Michael Weatherly - allegations the network tried to bury by paying her a $9.5million settlement.
Dushku, who is best known for her role in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, signed on for three episodes of Bull and was slated to be added as a full-time cast member before her interactions with Weatherly got in the way, according to a bombshell report from the New York Times.
The report claims that the two actors - who played love interests - got along well in the beginning and that Dushku thought Weatherly 'seemed friendly'.
Things took a turn after Weatherly allegedly made a series of comments in front of other cast and crew members that made Dushku uncomfortable - including remarks about her appearance, a rape joke and a mention of having a threesome.
Dushku, who says she had been told by Bull producer and writer Glenn Gordon Caron that her character would become more prominent, flagged the comments up to the network.
Soon after she was pushed off the show out of what she claims to be retaliation.
Dushku says she was slated to become a full-time cast member on Bull before she reported inappropriate comments that Weatherly made to her on set. The pair are pictured in the show
Mediation with CBS resulted in the network agreeing to pay Dushku a confidential settlement of $9.5million - roughly the amount she stood to earn if kept on the show for four seasons.
That settlement surfaced during an investigation into the network that began in August after former chief executive Les Moonves was ousted over allegations of sexual misconduct made by multiple women.
After his departure, the CBS Corporation board instructed a team of outside lawyers to look into 'cultural issues at all levels of CBS' in addition to the accusations against Moonves.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
