New sex rap vs. ‘60 Min.’ producer
The head of CBS’s “60 Minutes” has reportedly been accused by another woman of sexual misconduct — this time of groping her rear end at a party.
“I really felt like this was one of the most sexist places I’ve ever worked,” Sarah Johansen, a former CBS intern in the 2000s, told The New Yorker magazine.
The Denmark native claimed she was standing next to producer Jeff Fager at a work party in a Manhattan bar when “all of a sudden, I felt a hand on my ass. I was shocked.”
Johansen is the seventh former employee to accuse Fager — and the 19th underling to complain that he looked the other way at sex harassment within his division.
In The New Yorker story, several employees likened the atmosphere at the longrunning TV news magazine as that of a “frat house.”
Producer Habiba Nosheem said the culture reminded her of the 1950s and 1960s misogyny depicted on TV’s “Mad Men.”
“Until the networks change the power structure at the top, I won’t feel safe speaking out,” a producer told the magazine.
Fager, who has retained his position while the network conducts an independent investigation, couldn’t be reached for comment Sunday, and declined to comment to The New Yorker about Johansen’s accusation, but in the past has denied the allegations.
