The suit claims that Said was placed on a \u201cmale-only team\u201d that included Gutman, who allegedly \u201cinitiated a discussion rating a female correspondent\u2019s appearance and reducing her professional standing to a numerical score based on her physical attributes.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The other men allegedly joined in and asked Said for her input, which she declined.<\/p>\n<p>Neither CBS News nor ABC News responded to requests for comment from the Daily Beast.<\/p>\n<p>The second incident allegedly took place during a press day related to a film release. After Said expressed that she thought the team should leave the site, Gutman allegedly responded with a \u201csexual insinuation\u201d that she \u201cmust have an after-hours date in the city and that this is why she did not want to relocate\u201d in front of her co-workers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5444\">31 Deaths Reported in Kitchen Countertop Scandal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Said\u2019s legal team argued that the comment \u201cdemeaned [her] and reduced her professional judgment to a sexualized stereotype.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former field producer, who worked at ABC for four years, also named her former employer and its parent company, The Walt Disney Company, as defendants. She claims that she was wrongfully terminated in 2025 after grappling with mental health struggles.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations against Gutman come as he has gained even more visibility at his current network, CBS News, where he recently filled in for <i>CBS Evening News<\/i> anchor Tony Dokoupil, 45, while Dokoupil was on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>During Gutman\u2019s first week behind the anchor desk in July, he averaged 4.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings data obtained by Status, making it the program\u2019s best-rated week in 17 weeks. By comparison, Dokoupil has not topped 4 million viewers since the week of March 30, when he averaged 4.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>Gutman also serves as a fill-in anchor for the network\u2019s flagship broadcasts, reports for <i>CBS Mornings<\/i> and <i>CBS Evening News<\/i>, and also serves as a lead correspondent for <i>48 Hours<\/i> and contributes to <i>60 Minutes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>In announcing Gutman\u2019s hire, Weiss described him as a journalist who ticks all the boxes for the qualities she looks for, namely \u201cfearlessness, energy and relentlessness.\u201d CBS News President and Executive Editor Tom Cibrowski added, \u201cI have worked with Matt for decades, and I have seen his innate ability to take viewers into a story.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Gutman, meanwhile, said he was \u201cthrilled\u201d to join the team with Weiss and Cibrowski \u201cat the helm.\u201d He said part of his mission at the network would be to \u201cgive a voice to those who might otherwise not be heard, and to tell it straight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5442\">Idaho Killer\u2019s Unsealed Psych Report Reveals Four New Diagnoses<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chief correspondent at CBS News has been accused of making sexual comments on the job.
