Wednesday's episode of Survivor caused major controversy when contestant Dan Spilo was accused of unwanted touching.
'Survivor' Contestant Accused of Inappropriate Touching -- But 2 Players Admit Exaggerating Allegations to WinSurvivor
Contestant Kellee Kim was the first to raise concerns that Spilo was being too touchy and had invaded her personal space, and said that she asked him multiple times to stop. Fellow contestant Missy Byrd also told Kim that she felt uncomfortable with Spilo.Byrd and another contestant, Elizabeth Beisel, then came up with a strategy to play up the angle of how uncomfortable Spilo made them feel in order to further their game agenda.
“I work in an industry in which the #MeToo movement was formed and allowed -- thank God -- to blossom and become powerful and strong," he said."My personal feeling is if anyone ever felt for a second uncomfortable about anything I’ve ever done, I’m horrified about that and I’m terribly sorry. If that person was Kellee ... if I ever did anything that ever even remotely made her feel uncomfortable, it horrifies me, and I am terribly sorry.
Meanwhile, another contestant, Janet Carbin -- who voted for Spilo to be eliminated after Byrd and Beisel told her their allegations -- said she was"disgusted" by the two women's actions and threatened to quit the game altogether.
