Lost Actor Henry Ian Cusick Sued For Sexual Harassment

 

Lost actor Henry Ian Cusick and ABC are being sued by Chelsea Stone, a woman who claims she was sexually harassed then fired from the TV show.

In the lawsuit, filed in an L.A. court on Friday, Stone claims she was groped by the actor then fired by ABC shortly afterward.

The lawsuit states that Cusick, who plays Desmond Hume on the show Lost, fondled Chelsea Stone’s buttocks and breasts while trying to kiss her on the lips in October of 2007. It adds that Stone reported the incident to ABC, her employer, but was simply told to try to avoid being near Cusick. She claims she was fired 12 days later as retaliation for reporting the alleged sexual abuse. The filing also says Stone had worked for ABC since 1997, around 10 years.

She is seeking unspecified damages in the lawsuit, which also names ABC Entertainment Inc., and Grass Skirt Productions as defendants.
