Matt Gutman, CBS News’ chief correspondent, has been accused of sexual harassment in a wrongful-termination lawsuit filed by a former co-worker at ABC News.

Gutman was named in a lawsuit filed by Samira Said, who worked as a field producer for ABC News in its Los Angeles bureau from May 2021 until March 2025. She alleges in the lawsuit she was wrongfully terminated by ABC after she sought and was denied medical leave and accommodations for her medical conditions on several occasions. The lawsuit also alleges that Gutman contributed to a hostile work environment by making “sexualized” comments to her.
