US producer accused of sexual harassment

"Harris's partners say in the lawsuit that during a game of "Truth or Dare" with cast members of Dog Sees God, she asked a male cast member "to feel her up" and also made sexual overtures to other cast members. It also says she groped a female cast member in a bar."

What were the cast members doing playing truth or dare with the producer anyway? These kind of things are very suspicious, as it seems they had more than just a professional relationship here. Bad idea.

LOL, I googled her too. And I agree, she's hot.

If you look at the pic from the front page of the Post yesterday, she has her hand right on Eliza Dushku's butt. And not in the, Whoops my hand just slipped down inappropriately way.

Hell, I'm a producer and I WISH I could get actresses to play Truth or Dare with me!

I find theatre is full of sex, really.

Even in high school its like that. I hate to generalize, but a lot of theatre people are sexual people, maybe due to learning to work on movement and whatnot, plus the energy that charges the whole theatre during a live production and the confidence an actor also gets onstage that can sometimes carry over to real life(however brief). Not ALL theatre people are like that, but a good many I've met are.

Its like at the Olympics. You get a bunch of talented, beautiful people together with a lot of pent-up energy and theres bound to be lots of sex or references to sex.

Don't know if this has been stated already or if it was implied, but is this why the three Dog Sees God castmembers left early in the run? And is the big financial suit the reason for the closing date to be pushed forward?

There was an article in my local paper a month or so ago (not sure if it went worldwide) that mentioned how Da Vinci had loads of lovers and was very good in bed, etc. There is definitely some link between between being artistic and being sexual.

Yeah, you described it a bit better than me, Thesbijean :)

*nods* There was an article that came out around the time of the 2004 Olympics that had to do with the stuff that goes on in the mini Olympic village thing they always set up. At Sydney they ordered 70,000 condoms and put them in machines, ran out, ordered 20,000 more, and still ran out again three days before the end of competition.

Well, clearly there's something up somewhere as Dog Sees God announced today that it actually closed yesterday, ahead of its original out date of the 26th.

That's really the question, what the heck were they doing playing truth or dare with the producer of their show, wait better yet what were they all doing playing Truth or Dare in the first place? How very passe'. I'm postive there is much more to this than we're being let in on.

The part that bothers me is why, after playing such a personal and casual game with this producer, did they actually site this incident in their sexual harassment case against her? That's outrageous.

Next, they'll be complaining that during a game of strip poker... she actually removed her clothing in front of everyone. Shocking, I know.

If they had built their case using several other examples of inappropriate harassment behavior, I might be inclined to take their concerns more seriously. At this point, my big question to them would be "what the hell were you thinking?"

They'll have to come up with a lengthy list of examples that hold more water than this one, if they want to erase the "bogus" tone of their whistle-blowing, so far.

I don't understand why all three of Michael Reidel's last columns were entirely devoted to this. An update each column, sure. One full column about it, sure. But aren't there other things for the guy to report on lately?
