Del Rio Moves to Arbitration Over Matlock Exit

Former Matlock actor David Del Rio has filed an arbitration claim against CBS Studios to challenge his firing from the CBS legal drama following sexual assault allegations involving an unnamed female cast member. He says evidence undermining the accusations wasn’t fully considered and will present new communications and materials that contradict prior public characterizations of the incident. His lawyer, Shawn Holley, says the matter should be resolved in the appropriate legal forum; CBS declined to comment. Del Rio had already filmed seven episodes of season two before being escorted off the set in October.

Lawsuits Target Alleged Discrimination Against Straight, White Men in Hollywood

A writer for Seal Team has filed a lawsuit against CBS Studios and Paramount, alleging discrimination due to the network's diversity quotas, which he claims led to him being passed over for a staff writer job in favor of less qualified candidates who belonged to more preferred groups. The lawsuit, backed by the America First Legal Foundation funded by Stephen Miller, challenges corporate diversity practices and questions the legality of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. This lawsuit is seen as the first of its kind against an entertainment company and comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to dismantle affirmative action, potentially signaling a wave of similar lawsuits against corporate diversity practices.
