Ex-Hallmark Channel host Mark Steines on Thursday sued the network’s parent Crown Media, claiming he was fired and humiliated in retaliation for taking a stand against harassment. (THR / THR, Esq.)
The move comes four months after he was abruptly removed as co-host of the network’s flagship series Home And Family. (Deadline)
Steines says he repeatedly complained about Woody Fraser, the 83-year-old executive producer of the show. Employees would go to Steines with complaints about Fraser, and he would relay them to management, but nothing was ever done, the suit alleges. Steines is suing for retaliation and wrongful termination. (Variety)
