In 2017, as bombshell after bombshell dropped regarding abusive behavior by powerful men in various industries, the demand for transparency and accountability came to the fore of public discourse. Women from all walks of life stood up in solidarity to share personal stories about mistreatment by their male colleagues, particularly in entertainment workplaces, ultimately bringing social movements like MeToo and Time's Up to global prominence.
Dushku claimed that the abuse began with Weatherly blatantly making comments about her physical appearance as well as off-color remarks referencing physical contact, all within clear view and earshot of fellow cast and crew members. Over time, his behavior became more egregious and involved telling inappropriate jokes alluding to sexual activity and assault.
To add insult to injury, Dushku alleged that she was further targeted by Weatherly as Bull's cast and crew celebrated the wrap of its first season. As the series star headlined a toast with champagne among his colleagues, he reportedly singled Dushku out, saying, "We need you, the most beautiful woman, to come grab the raffle ticket." Feeling "embarrassed and humiliated" by the circumstances of her final moments with Bull, the actress sought an ally in Leslee Feldman.
