Overview
- Mindy Tessa McKoin filed a multi-claim complaint in California state court on Tuesday, September 16, 2026, alleging sexual harassment, battery, retaliation, wrongful termination and wage-related violations.
- The suit says executive producer Randall Winston reached around McKoin and groped her left breast at the Shrinking Season 2 wrap party on June 22, 2024 and that she reported the incident to a supervisor in late 2024 or early 2025.
- McKoin alleges production altered her and other crewmembers’ timecards and denied pay for requested additional hours on specific dates in May through July 2026, and that Warner Bros. fired her on July 10, 2026 after she complained.
- Warner Bros. Television issued a statement saying it engaged an independent third party to investigate and concluded the allegations were unsubstantiated, and representatives for Winston have not publicly responded to requests for comment.
- The filing seeks compensatory and punitive damages and will likely trigger discovery into timecards, payroll records and internal complaints, which could reveal whether production accounting and studio oversight failed crew members and affect on-set reporting practices.
