After leaving NCIS in 2016, Michael Weatherly starred in CBS’s Bull, but his time on the show was marred by controversy. Eliza Dushku, who joined the series in Season 1, accused Weatherly of sexual harassment, claiming he made inappropriate comments about her appearance. Tensions escalated, and Eliza was written off the show after alleging that Weatherly’s behavior made her last moments on set humiliating.
The accusations led to an investigation by CBS, which eventually settled with Eliza for $9.5 million in 2018. Michael Weatherly addressed the situation publicly, acknowledging that his comments were inappropriate and apologizing for offending Eliza. He admitted that he had failed to recognize the impact of his language at the time.
Despite the scandal, Weatherly continued on Bull until the show’s cancellation, but the controversy surrounding his actions remained a significant chapter in his career.
