Popular talk show host Steve Harvey is being sued by a former guest. The lawsuit claims that the guest of an April 2016 show, Dominique Collier was responding to a casting call that would highlight single professional women who like to show off their looks. According to TMZ,
She claims producers told her the show would highlight her being a professional single mom, who’s also a fitness model. In her lawsuit, she says that’s not how it all went down. Dominique showed up for the taping in a conservative outfit — a long-sleeved blouse and pencil skirt — but producers put her in a halter top and form-fitting skirt … according to the suit.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, she says the segment included an audience vote on her looks, and responses included … “whore,” “slut,” “ratchet” and “daddy issues.” Dominique says she fired off a cease and desist to the show to remove the audience poll from the segment before it aired — and even though producers obliged, she says the damage was done in front of the live audience.
Collier reportedly felt very uncomfortable with the live audience reactions and the change of outfit at the producer’s request and felt this was sexual harassment. TMZ has reached out to Steve’s representatives and Collier is suing Steve Harvey, the show’s production company Endemol Shine and NBC for at least $2 million.
