Al Roker’s company ‘illegally targeted’ exec producer, failed to properly follow DEI program: suit

The Hollywood Reporter published.The lawsuit alleged that the company “callously disregarded” a PBS DEI program that mandated Schultz’ animated series “Weather Hunters” include Black writers. Schultz accused Al Roker Entertainment of trying to undermine and avoid the mandate by having Black writers only touch up scripts that White writers wrote rather than hire Black staff writers.“Instead of giving the chances to BIPOC writers as had been the plan, the story editor, repeating a strategy previously advocated and backed by Al Roker Entertainment management in writing, wanted to have ‘non-BIPOC’ writers write the stories, and then bring on a ‘BIPOC’ writer and after the stories/episodes [were] shaped, they could be ‘hand[ed] off to BIPOC writers,'” the lawsuit read.After a Black producer was reprimanded for opposing this idea, Schultz spoke out in defense of the DEI policy and made his opinion known to Roker and other executives, according to the suit.
