CBS News correspondent Matt Gutman accused of harassment in lawsuit
Samira Said alleges Gutman made sexualized comments on two assignments and says ABC and Disney denied medical accommodations before firing her.
- Former ABC News field producer Samira Said filed a wrongful termination lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court against ABC, The Walt Disney, and CBS News Chief Correspondent Matt Gutman, alleging sexual harassment and discrimination.
- Said alleges Gutman contributed to a hostile work environment by making "sexualized" comments, including an insinuation about an after-hours date and initiating a discussion rating a female correspondent's appearance while they worked together at ABC.
- The suit claims ABC failed to provide reasonable accommodations for trauma from covering the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde and a workplace foot injury, leading to Said's termination on March 5, 2025.
- Representatives for ABC, The Walt Disney, and Gutman declined to comment Friday, stating they have not yet seen the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
- After 17 years at ABC News, Gutman joined CBS News in January and recently filled in as anchor of the "CBS Evening News," scoring higher ratings than the program's regular anchor Tony Dokoupil.
