MTV has suspended production on “Catfish” as host and executive producer Nev Schulman becomes the latest TV star to face an investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct.
A spokesperson for the network said in a statement on Thursday that MTV was working with the show’s production company to look into the matter: “We take these allegations very seriously. We’re working with Critical Content, our third party production company, to conduct a thorough investigation.”
The investigation follows two YouTube videos posted by Ayissha Morgan, a woman who appeared on the show in 2015, in which she alleged that a man she dubbed “Jack” made repeated sexual advances and lewd comments while they filmed her episode.
