CBS Studios and its parent company Paramount have been sued by a writer for Seal Team alleging discrimination through the network’s diversity quotas, in what is probably the opening lawsuit against efforts to improve diversity in Hollywood following the supreme court’s decision to dismantle affirmative action.
Brian Beneker, a script coordinator for Seal Team, filed the lawsuit in California federal court on Wednesday, and is represented by a legal group funded by the former Trump adviser and far-right anti-immigration activist Stephen Miller.
