Maury show scandal
Maury Povich and other members of his staff have been sued for sexual harrassment by Bianca Nardi, a producer on his show, for $100 million. The producer claims the sexually charged atmosphere around the office was encouraged by the "intimate and sexual relationship between...Povich and Donna Benner Ingber," and that Nardi's workload was unfairly heavy because Inger refused to do her own work as a result of her relationship with Povich. Nardi also charges that the show's executive producer ordered her to wear low-cut shirts, short skirts and push-up bras, and that she was required to jobs she felt were outside her job description, including "going to bars to secretly videotape married men agreeing to have sex" with her. Nardi says the same producer forced her to "run a gauntlet of sexually abusive and intimidating conduct," including watching porn with him and posing in sexually explicit positions. She claims she complied for fear of losing her job.
