OMG!

Quote:
Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Desmond on the show "Lost," is being sued for sexual harassment.

According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Chelsea Stone claims that while working on the show, Cusick placed his hand on her buttocks and caressed the back of her body while making moaning sounds.

She also claims Cusick "placed his face on top of [her] breasts, moving his face from side to side." He then squeezed her breasts with his hands.

According to the lawsuit, approximately twelve days after this went down, Stone was let go. ABC and Grass Skirt Productions are also named as defendants. She is seeking unspecified damages.

Cusick's rep had no comment.

ahhh that's a shame. Who is Chelsea Stone? Well, at least it wasn't Josh or Foxy involved b/c that would have just broken my heart.

I hope this is really just some sort of joke or that girl is sick in the head....HIC just doesn't seem the type to be that blatantly aggressive towards someone...granted, yes, I don' t know him, but from what I've seen in interviews, he seems fairly soft spoken, maybe even a little shy. Plus, he's like a family man!! It just doesn't seem like the type of thing he'd be capable of....

Of course, maybe I'm a little biased since i like him so much, and if this really did occur, then it's just super disappointing, but I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt until I know all the facts. Just because someone claims something, doesn't mean it's true. For all we know, maybe she was consenting but is now claiming sexual harassment just to get money. There's a lot of things we don't know.

But man, if this really did happen - I feel bad for that girl. Especially since she even complained to ABC and then they just fired her....

I agree with NepEnut... I mean, It seemed like he was super careful about keeping his job from the interviews I had read, so it doesn't really make sense why he would do something so stupid, unless she persuaded him on, or he was drunk or something. Sheesh.

To be honest thats the first thing that popped into my mind...about the money But I suppose you never know, its awful for her if it is true, but then if it's not

I agree with Abby. People always make random shit up about celebs. She could be doing it to get money. I prefer to steer clear from this kind of thing anyway. I hate when I find out bad stuff about celebrities who seem so nice.
