CBS Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase Director Rick Najera Resigns After Harassment Allegations
Every day since Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment, abuse, assault, and rape claims got a deservingly harsh light shone on them, it seems Hollywood has been cleaning house, corner by corner.
Unfortunately, every corner seems to need thorough cleaning.
Yesterday, CBS made a statement that they have investigated claims of the man responsible for the CBS Diversity Comedy Showcase (a program that many comedians around the country, but especially in LA, work very hard to get in on) Rick Najera harassing performers of said showcase.
Since this has become public, as stated above, Najera has resigned.
What will happen with the CBS Diversity Comedy Showcase going forward and who will run it has yet to be announced, but we’ll keep you in the loop as more details emerge.
