CBS and Paramount Sued Over Alleged Discriminatory Hiring Practices

The lawsuit, filed by a 'SEAL Team' staffer, challenges diversity quotas and claims discrimination against straight white men.

A 'SEAL Team' script coordinator alleges he was denied a writing position due to being a straight white man, sparking a lawsuit against CBS and Paramount.
The lawsuit is backed by America First Legal Foundation, a conservative group founded by former Trump advisor Stephen Miller.
Hollywood writers and industry figures have reacted with skepticism and criticism, highlighting the ongoing debate over diversity and inclusion measures.
The legal challenge comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision against affirmative action, raising questions about the future of diversity programs.
CBS and Paramount have yet to comment on the lawsuit, which seeks at least $500,000 in damages and a court order for a full-time producer role for the plaintiff.
