A lawsuit filed by former ABC News producer Samira Said in Los Angeles Superior Court accuses CBS News correspondent Matt Gutman of inappropriate sexual remarks during two work assignments while he was at ABC. Said alleges Gutman reduced a female correspondent's professional standing to a numerical appearance score in one incident and made a sexualized comment about Said herself at a press event in another.
The allegations sit within a broader wrongful termination suit against ABC News and Disney, with Said alleging she was fired in 2025 after being denied medical leave despite psychiatric approval. Gutman joined CBS in January 2026 as the first high-profile hire by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss after nearly two decades at ABC; both CBS and Gutman declined comment, saying they hadn't seen the complaint.
