Still no news on the lawsuit against Cusick

There were no updates today on the sexual harassment lawsuit a former member of the LOST production crew filed against Henry Ian Cusick on Friday.

Reporters have tried to contact Cusick’s manager, the Plaintiff’s attorney, ABC spokespersons, and employees of Grass Skirt Productions, but everyone involved seems to be staying quiet for now. I imagine there is some frantic activity going on behind the scenes, as they all try to figure out what to do next.

A member of the LOST production crew filed a lawsuit yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, suing Henry Ian Cusick, ABC, and Grass Skirts Productions for sexual battery, hostile work environment, and wrongful termination. She alleged that in October, 2007, Cusick, among other things, “placed his hand on Plaintiff’s buttocks … then began to caress the back of Plaintiff’s body while making moaning sounds,” and that he put his face on and squeezed her breasts. She complained to her supervisor, and a week and a half later, she was fired.
