Sony Pictures Television executive Keith Le Goy, who was promoted on Tuesday to run home entertainment in a major executive shakeup at the studio, was sued for sexual harassment in 2014 by a former assistant at the studio, TheWrap has learned.
Le Goy, who added new responsibilities to his role running distribution with the exit of Man Jit Singh, was accused of sexual harassment and wrongful termination by Belinda Reser in a civil lawsuit filed in August 2014 that was settled two years later for undisclosed terms, according to court papers.
According to the civil suit obtained by TheWrap, Reser accused Le Goy of multiple forms of harassment during five years working as an administrative assistant, including “gyrating” around her, speaking in a sexual manner about other employees and make insulting comments about women such as, “Women over 40 need tits.”
