The New York Times on Dec. 13 detailed that after she stood up to the on-screen character about his conduct, she was discounted the show in striking back regardless of plans for her 2017 three-scene bend to transform Dushku into an arrangement ordinary. The production reports that she experienced intervention with CBS and was given a mystery installment of $9.5 million, the likeness what she would have made had she showed up in four seasons as a normal on Bull.
Dushku declined to remark about the Times’ piece, however CBS confirmed the installment was made to her. In an announcement acquired by TheMagazineCity.com, the system said “”The charges in Ms. Dushku’s cases are a model that, while we stay focused on a culture characterized by a sheltered, comprehensive and conscious work environment, our work is a long way from done. The settlement of these cases mirrors the anticipated sum that Ms. Dushku would have gotten for the equalization of her agreement as an arrangement customary, and was resolved in a commonly settled upon intercession process at the time.”
“Over the span of taping our show, I made a few jokes deriding a few lines in the content,” Weatherly said in email to the Times. “At the point when Eliza disclosed to me that she wasn’t happy with my dialect and endeavor at amusingness, I was embarrassed to have irritated her and promptly apologized. In the wake of pondering this further, I better comprehend that what I said was both not entertaining and not proper and I am sad and lament the torment this caused Eliza.”

Which, by and large, was not a smart thought.”
