‘60 Minutes’ Producer Sues CBS for Alleged Retaliation Over Her Complaint About Boss’ Lewd Pic

CBS “remains committed to insulating and protecting powerful men—the ‘talent’—at the expense of its female employees,” a new lawsuit claims.

In a complaint filed Tuesday in New York State Supreme Court, London-based 60 Minutes producer Cassandra Vinograd alleges that company executives and her immediate supervisor, longtime 60 Minutes producer Michael Gavshon, retaliated against her, stripping her of all her duties after she objected in late September to Gavshon’s alcohol consumption on the job, and to a sexually offensive photograph he texted to her cell phone.

CBS said in a statement that it “plans to vigorously defend against”  Vinograd’s lawsuit, which demands a jury trial to determine punitive and other monetary damages for “mental anguish and emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment, stress and anxiety, loss of self-esteem, self-confidence and personal dignity, emotional pain and suffering and any other physical and mental injuries.”

For CBS, which said it “vehemently denies there was any retaliation” against Vinograd, the lawsuit is an unwelcome reminder of the negative publicity the network has suffered during the past two years over the forced ousters—due to sexual misconduct and harassment allegations—of CBS Chairman and Chief Executive Leslie Moonves, 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager, and CBS This Morning co-anchor Charlie Rose.
