Bryan Fuller, a writer and producer for shows like Star Trek: Discovery and Hannibal, is being sued for sexual harassment on the set by a former employee of Shudder's Queer for Fear, but his attorney says they plan to countersue for defamation based on "provably false statements," according to a Deadline report.
Sam Wineman, who served as a producer and director on the LGBTQ+ horror documentary series, filed a lawsuit against Fuller Wednesday, claiming that Fuller "cultivated and maintained a hostile work environment as a result of harassment, discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and retaliation" between 2020 and 2022, per a copy of the complaint viewed by EW.
Wineman is also suing AMC Networks, Shudder, and Steakhause Productions in the same suit, as he alleges that he was ultimately fired from the series, and that the network "ignored all warning signs, facilitated, and permitted" Fuller's behavior.
An AMC spokesperson told EW the company was reviewing the complaint and did not have any immediate comment. Reps for Fuller, Shudder, and Steakhouse Productions did not respond to EW's request for comment.
