A recent lawsuit accusing CBS Studios of discriminatory hiring practices related to the production of "SEAL Team" has gained traction after a federal judge denied the network's attempt to dismiss the case. The lawsuit, initiated by script coordinator Brian Beneker, alleges that CBS implemented discriminatory diversity quotas that adversely affected straight white men, claiming these quotas prioritized hiring individuals from minority groups over "more qualified" candidates.
The legal challenge, filed in March, centers on allegations that CBS enforced policies that unfairly favored minority and LGBTQ candidates for positions on the "SEAL Team" set. Beneker asserts that he was consistently overlooked for a staff writer role due to these allegedly illegal practices. The lawsuit seeks $500,000 in damages and demands a court order to secure a full-time producer position for Beneker on the series, along with a cessation of what he describes as discriminatory hiring practices at CBS.
