New York Post • • entertainment
Key Points:
- CBS News anchor Matt Gutman, previously a correspondent for ABC News, is facing a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former ABC producer Samira Said, alleging inappropriate sexual remarks during assignments between 2021 and 2025.
- Gutman’s troubled history includes a major error in 2020 when he falsely reported that all four of Kobe Bryant’s children died in a helicopter crash, leading to his suspension and a public apology.
- In 2021, Gutman was again suspended by ABC for violating COVID-19 hospital visit policies by going without prior approval from the news department.
- Gutman drew criticism in 2025 for comments made about the killer of Charlie Kirk, which he later admitted missed the mark and clarified his condemnation of the crime.
- Despite the allegations and past controversies, Gutman was hired by CBS News in late 2025, and he has not yet responded publicly to the sexual harassment lawsuit.
