Lawsuit Details Alleged Harassment Involving CBS’s Matt Gutman and an ABC Producer

A wrongful-termination suit filed in California accuses ABC News of discriminating against former field producer Samira Said and alleges that CBS News’ Matt Gutman participated in a hostile, sexually charged environment. Said, who worked at ABC from 2021 to 2025, says she was placed on a male-only team, faced sexualized remarks about a colleague’s appearance, was denied medical leave and accommodations, was demoted, and ultimately terminated in 2025. She seeks unspecified damages; Gutman is named in the complaint and is now with CBS News.
