Eliza Dushku: "I can't go back to a system that requires me to sign away my rights"

In 2017, the actor discovered that a 'forced arbitration clause' in her contract prevented her from taking a sexual harassment case against CBS to court. Now, after testifying to Congress, she's ready to break the 'culture of silence' in an exclusive interview.

ast Tuesday, actor Eliza Dushku L testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee during ga hearing entitled "Silenced: How Forced Arbitration Keeps Victims of Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment in the Shadows." It marked the first time Dushku has been able to speak freely about her experience on the set of the CBS show Bull in 2017. She detailed unrelenting harassment at the hands of series star Michael Weatherly, and enabled by showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron, after being cast as a series regular during filming of the show's first season.

On Wednesday, the day after Dushku's testimony, the House Judiciary Committee

voted in favor of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Harassment Act. The bill is next slated for the House of Representatives. Dushku spoke exclusively to Harper's BAZAAR about her testimony, the professional repercussions and personal mental health toll of being bound by forced arbitration clauses, and why she can't imagine returning to Hollywood i

"Off script, in front of about 100 crew members and cast members, he once said that he would take me to his 'rape' van and use lube and long phallic things on me and take me over his knee and spank me like a little girl," Dushku testified. In another incident, she recalled, Weatherly "shouted out that he and his buddy wanted to have a threesome with me and began mock penis jousting while the camera was still rolling. Then, as I walked off to my coffee break between scenes, a random male crew member sidled up to me at the food service table and whispered, 'I'm with Bull. I want to have a threesome with you too, Eliza." She said that only a day after privately approaching Weatherly to tone down the sexual comments, she was unceremoniously fired despite only receiving positive feedback from the network up until that point. Dushku's contract had the potential option for six seasons, but she ultimately appeared in only three episodes of the series. The show is now in its sixth season.

When Dushku decided to take legal action against CBS, she found that her employment contract included an arbitration clause- known variably as a "mandatory arbitration clause" or "forced arbitration clause"-a little-discussed provision that commonly appears in employment contracts across many industries. In effect, it preemptively strips employees, as a condition of employment, of the right to sue their employer in open court in the event that they suffer harassment, assault, or discrimination in the workplace. Instead, their complaints must be arbitrated in confidential, closed-door proceedings in which the employer chooses the arbitrator, often one it's used regularly. The process is thus stacked largely in favor of employers and corporations. A report by the American Association for Justice found that only 1.6 percent of arbitration cases in 2020 were

decided in favor of the employee. Unlike cases tried in court, decisions are final and can't be appealed. The records are then seale

Eliza Dushku's testimony against forced arbitration was powerful. I don't know if I have confidence it will pass this Congress it in that it will help victims of sexual harassment.

🎮 Retro games shaped generations. But many are vanishing.

Some, like educational games by Yaakov Kirschen, who died on April 14, were almost lost forever.

Sometimes I go to this one mall just to people watch and look at what people are wearing. The people here are normally the rich, trendy types so I get to see the thing’s actual colors (vs in photos) and whether the thing actually looks good when worn irl.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men by Mane Kara-Yakoubian -January 15, 2025 in Sexism Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship. In recent years, male victimhood ideology-the belief that men are primary targets of gender discrimination-has gained prominence globally. Advocates of this view argue that feminist policies unfairly disadvantage men. South Korea offers a unique context for exploring this ideology due to significant economic and gender- related social shifts. Despite high levels of education, young South Korean men face precarious job markets and increasing competition in traditionally male-dominated domains, which has created fertile ground for such beliefs

Kim investigated the roots of male victimhood ideology, questioning whether it arises from actual economic hardships or a perceived loss of social privilege. The study utilized data from four large-scale surveys conducted in South Korea between 2015 and 2023. Each survey assessed male victimhood ideology through agreement with statements like "Men are discriminated against due to excessive feminist policies." Other variables included age, marital status, education, employment, income, and perceptions of socioeconomic status

On the other hand, perceived status decline was a consistent and strong predictor. In Study 2, men with anxiety over status decline were more likely to adopt victimhood beliefs. Study 3 reinforced this finding, showing that men perceiving downward mobility, comparing their current socioeconomic status unfavorably to their status at age 15, were more likely to endorse male victimhood ideology, especially among middle- and upper- class men who experienced sharper losses in privilege. Study 4 further confirmed that perceived status decline relative to one's parents strongly correlated with male victimhood beliefs, again most pronounced in men from higher socioeconomic backgrounds

These patterns were absent in women, who displayed much lower levels of victimhood ideology under similar conditions. The findings consistently demonstrate that male victimhood beliefs are driven by perceived privilege loss rather than objective economic hardship. Findings may not fully generalize to other cultural contexts with different gender and economic dynamics
