CBS renewed its popular legal drama Bull for a fourth season despite the controversy surrounding the shows star, Michael Weatherly, who was accused of harassing actress Eliza Dushku while on set.

Shortly after CBS announced the shows renewal, Steven Spielbergs production company Amblin Television said it was cutting ties with the show, Deadline reported .

Spielberg served as an executive producer on Bull, along with Amblin Television co-presidents Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.

A New York Times investigation published in December revealed that CBS reached a $9.5 million settlement with Dushku, who starred in Bull, after she confronted Weatherly for allegedly making inappropriate comments to her on set in front of cast and crew members.

Weatherly reportedly told CBS Television Studios President David Stapf of her accusations, and Dushku was later written off the show.

Dushku believed that her role on Bull was terminated in retaliation for speaking out against Weatherlys behavior. Through mediation, Dushku and CBS reached the settlement, which totaled the amount she wouldve been paid if shed stayed on the show for four seasons.

Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, have made some of the biggest contributions to the Times Up movement , an organization founded in 2018 by women in the entertainment industry that advocates for workplace equality and stands against abuse and harassment.

Capshaw and Spielberg have donated $2 million to the cause .
