Hollywood Life Exposed in Lawsuit Against CBS
LOS ANGELES (CN) - A woman agreed with a CBS set designer's offer of a $10,000 per month job if she'd have sex with him and give him her first month's paycheck - but then the man sexually harassed her, she claims in court.
Jaime Squillare sued CBS Studios and its employee Michael Sunga, in Superior Court.
She also sued 90210 Productions, EPSG Management Services, and Eye Productions.
Squillare says in her complaint that Sunga started working for 90210 Productions as a leadman in June 2012.
A leadman operates under the set decorator, directing the prop crew and set dressers.
About a month after he went to work for CBS, Squillare says in her complaint, "Mr. Sunga promised to employ Ms. Squillare as a set dresser at 90210 if she succumbed to his sexual advances and gave him all of the wages that she earned during the first month of her employment."
The complaint does not state directly whether she immediately "succumbed."
It continues: "Immediately after Ms. Squillare was hired, Mr. Sunga reminded her of their quid pro quo arrangement, and threatened to fire her unless she paid him $10,000, which comprised her first month's wages at 90210.
