Maury Perv-ich?

Maury "You ARE/ARE not the father" "Mr. Connie Chung" Povich and three of his producers are being slapped across their talkshow faces with a $100 million lawsuit. Bianca Nardi, 28, alleges she was forced to expose herself in the studio for crude videos that were shown to guests of the show, that Povich's relationship with a female producer created a hostile workplace that was abusive to women and that a male producer asked her to secretly videotape her attempts to seduce married men.

The suit alleges that executive producer, Paul Faulhaber, ordered Nardi to dress in short skirts and low-cut blouses, wear hidden television camera microphones, and "secretly videotape married men agreeing to have sex with her." Nardi also alleges the sexually hostile workplace was the result of Povich's "longtime, intimate and sexual relationship" with co-defendant Donna Benner Ingber, another producer. More scandal! Apparently Bianca says Ingber "used her position and relationship" with Povich, other producers were openly resentful and hostile in the workplace, the suit said. Nardi said she was forced to do part of Ingber's job or be fired.

I definitely don't advocate for sexually hostile workplaces. I agree it's illegal but let me break something down for you: ok, first of all if your name is Bianca, even though it's not your fault, you already sound like a slut. Secondly, you work for the Maury Povich show...you know the same show that highlights, for "entertainment purposes" the lives of men who have children with 6 different women and then come on the air for DNA tests and then still refuse to pay child support...yeah, that show...it's trash TV not 60 Minutes news. If you want a serious job, don't work for a talk show that has topics like "guess if this is a man or a woman" or "I'm 14 and I cheated on your and now I don't know if you or your brother is the father." The show has been on 15 years. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what's going on with that show by now: I was watching those "decoys" try to seduce married men while I was still in middle school. Now, as a serious business woman (blogger on the side) who is a few, fabulous-yet-highly-experienced years younger than this Miss Bianca Nardi, I'm going to tell you something: when this issue comes up in the workplaces, you figure out a way to deal with. Any normal, rational woman would get out of this situation before it would ever come down to a $100 million lawsuit. If you stuck around for $100 million worth of damages then you have some serious problems...like golddigging.

NBC states: "We do not believe that Ms. Nardi was a victim of unlawful sexual harassment and intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously. NBC Universal is committed to maintaining a workplace that is free of discrimination and harassment." [source]
