- An associate producer on CBS current affairs TV show “60 Minutes” filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging gender discrimination and retaliation by the U.S. company after she said she complained about inappropriate conduct by her male boss. In the complaint, filed in New York State Supreme Court against CBS Broadcasting, Cassandra Vinograd said she told company executives that her boss - “60 Minutes” producer Michael Gavshon, 63 - texted her a photo she said made her feel “disgusted, uncomfortable and scared.” Gavshon said he meant to send the photo to his sister, according to the complaint.According to the complaint, the CBS human resources department conducted an investigation after Vinograd raised the issue with them.
After the investigation, Vinograd was stripped of all work responsibilities, according to the complaint. CBS executives have been the subject of other sexual harassment allegations in recent years, with anchor Charlie Rose, CBS Corp President Leslie Moonves and “60 Minutes” Executive Producer Jeff Fager being fired from the company or resigning under pressure.Moonves has denied any wrongdoing and has described his sexual encounters as consensual.
