CBS renewed its popular legal drama “Bull” for a fourth season despite the controversy surrounding the show’s star, Michael Weatherly, who was accused of harassing actress Eliza Dushku while on set. Shortly after CBS announced the show’s renewal, Steven Spielberg’s production company Amblin Television said it was cutting ties with the show, Deadline reported. Weatherly reportedly told CBS Television Studios President David Stapf of her accusations, and Dushku was later written off the show. Dushku believed that her role on “Bull” was terminated in retaliation for speaking out against Weatherly’s behavior. Through mediation, Dushku and CBS reached the settlement, which totaled the amount she would’ve been paid if she’d stayed on the show for four seasons.
