Today's Blind Items - Secret Checks

This is not the first time I have written about this production company. They do multiple reality shows in the same region of the country. They had to write several checks to the mom of a child and the child, not because of anything they had done, but what they witnessed and didn't report. They recently completed arbitration in another case that has been going on for at least five years. Several crew members and at least two producers had each, over the course of two years, sexually assaulted a woman who was sometimes on the show. They would get her drunk and then assault her. They knew she needed the money that being on the show would give her, and when she would stop drinking with them, they would cancel her call times and tell her they didn't need her any more. Eventually, she put her foot down and her lawyer threatened a lawsuit. Apparently she received several million dollars. None of the crew members or producers were fired.
