Cassandra Vinograd, an associate producer for ‘60 Minutes’, is suing CBS claiming she was stripped from her assignments after reporting that senior producer, Michael Gavshon, sent her an inappropriate photo.
In the face of the #MeToo movement, CBS has been under high scrutiny resulting in multiple firings over the past few years. This lawsuit may add to their misconduct issues.
A statement released by CBS states,“CBS thoroughly and immediately investigated the matter in accordance with its policies. Subsequently, Ms. Vinograd asked to no longer work with Mr. Gavshon and CBS has made every reasonable effort to honor this request. CBS News vehemently denies there was any retaliation.”
