A
former staffer for the MTV reality series “The Hills” has sued the
network, claiming she had been sexually harassed, was pressured to smoke
drugs, was denied meal and rest breaks, and finally was denied overtime
and other pay. Eliza Sproul’s lawsuit says the problems began during a
May 2010 trip to film the series in Costa Rica. The suit also claims
that, during the trip, “Ms. Sproul was sexually harassed and knowingly
placed in dangerous situations that endangered her safety.” Sproul says
that she was paired with local resident, Andres, whom MTV had hired, and
Andres immediately set to hitting on her and pressuring her to smoke
marijuana with him. Worse, according to the suit, the crew members
showed no sympathy for her plight. MTV isn’t talking.
