A female journalist who previously worked under CBS News' chief correspondent Matt Gutman is accusing him of making things uncomfortable at work with his "sexualized" remarks, according to a lawsuit filed against ABC News and obtained by People and Variety.
Samira Said, who worked as a field producer at ABC News' Los Angeles bureau from 2021 to 2025, filed the complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. In the suit, she alleges wrongful termination by ABC after being denied medical leave and accommodations for her medical conditions on several occasions.
