‘Catfish’ back, host off hook

- Rachel DeSantis

“Catfish” has resumed production one month after accusation­s of sexual misconduct against host and executive producer Nev Schulman put the MTV cyberdatin­g reality series on hold pending an investigat­ion.

The network said Saturday it had wrapped up the probe and found the allegation­s against Schulman to be “not credible and without merit.” “Although we never received a formal complaint, MTV and Critical Content immediatel­y engaged an independen­t third party investigat­or,” a spokesman for MTV told the Daily News in a statement.

Schulman, 33, celebrated the news on Twitter by thanking his fans for standing by him. “Appreciate the support from you and so many others. Excited to get back to work!” he wrote.

“Catfish” production was halted in May after a former participan­t of the series accused Schulman of repeated sexual harassment.
