Broti Gupta and Margee Magee left the show after complaining to HR about producer David Hunt.
, says that Hunt, who is 65, hugged her twice outside Pizzeria Mozza after a work dinner in August, running his hand up her thigh and making her feel uncomfortable. Although Gupta described the incident to friends that night, she decided that reporting it might lead to retaliation, and said nothing. Several weeks later, however, Hunt took Gupta by the shoulders and jerked her out of a chair on the lot in front of Margee Magee, a writer and co-executive producer on.
What happened next is a matter of some dispute. The Monday after Gupta met with HR, the show’s writers were told that they would be barred from rehearsal. That Thursday, they were told that going forward, only the credited writer on each episode would get to pitch new versions of jokes that flopped during taping. Haskins and Halpern say that they had been planning to streamline production in this manner since before Gupta spoke up.
Gupta, who came to believe that other writers were now being penalized because of her complaint, resigned soon after. Magee, after meeting with HR to discuss the whole mess, resigned in October, saying she was pushed out of her writing duties on the show as retaliation.
They admitted to Margee Magee in private that my reporting took us off set so when I learned that information, I realized that I had to leave — I can’t work for bosses who lie to their extremely smart/talented staffCarol’s Second Act
