Ghen Maynard, who was brought back to CBS three years ago to revive its unscripted department, alleges CBS mistreats minorities
In his age and race discrimination lawsuit, the Japan-born Maynard says he is the "only non-white executive at CBS Studios" and that the CBS workplace hasn't improved since the departure of CEO Leslie Moonves, who left the company amid a sexual misconduct scandal last year.
Maynard alleges his personal experiences confirm discrimination against minorities at CBS. He says that at meetings, minorities are relegated to sit in the back rows and that they are often excluded from such meetings altogether. Maynard says he's been told that other executives are "threatened" by him and that his work has been unfairly disparaged. He also points to the termination in September of Angelica McDaniels, an executive in the daytime programs division.
As part of the investigation, Maynard says he was interviewed by Tim Farrell, vp human resources at CBS., according to the complaint.
