Here come the complaints against David Letterman:
LOS ANGELES โ A former writer for David Letterman said she quit his NBC talk show in part because of alleged sexual favoritism and a hostile work environment.
Nell Scovell, writing for Vanity Fair online Tuesday, said she had no intention of filing a lawsuit and wasnโt seeking revenge.
โI wanted to shine a light on gender inequality in that particular workplace,โ Scovell, who went on to a successful Hollywood career, said in a telephone interview.
In the Vanity Fair article, Scovell said Letterman didnโt โhit on herโ during her roughly five-month stint with NBCโs โLate Night with David Lettermanโ in 1990.
โDid he pay me enough extra attention that it was noted by another writer? Yes. Was I aware of rumors that Dave was having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes,โ Scovell wrote.
Other high-level male employees were having sexual relationships with female staffers as well, she alleges, and the women gained professional benefits from those relationships.
โDid that make me feel demeaned? Completely. Did I say anything at the time? Sadly, no,โ wrote Scovell, whose credits include writing for the series โCoachโ and โMonkโ and creating โSabrina, the Teenage Witch.โ Sheโs also produced and directed.
