Povich, Others Sued for Sex Harassment
A producer for TV talk-show host Maury Povich filed a $100 million sex harassment lawsuit against him and other members of his staff Monday, claiming they barraged her with sexual remarks and made her watch porno movies and expose her body.

Bianca Nardi, 28, of Fort Lee, N.J., says in court papers that the sexually charged atmosphere among the show's production staff was fostered by the "intimate and sexual relationship between defendants Maurice Richard Povich and Donna Benner Ingber."

Court papers also say Nardi had an unfairly heavy workload because she did tasks that were supposed to be done by Ingber, who often refused to do her own work — without penalty — because of her relationship with Povich.

Povich is married to the veteran television news anchor Connie Chung.

1. I think that the accuser & Connie should go on Maury's show
and he should give himself a polygraph test.

I also think that Maury & Connie should be put on trial for that piece of crap weekend show.

6. If I remember correctly,
Maury Povich donated a bunch of money to Republican campaigns.

That's pretty gross, if the woman's claims are true. He's extremely unsexy, in my opinion, which would only make it worse.

9. Truer words...
>>>I also think that Maury & Connie should be put on trial for that piece of crap weekend show.<<<

They'd never be able to seat a jury not already predisposed to their demise...lol.

7. Maury should be forced to take a polygraph test about this!
This is not something I would normally demand, but considering the nature of his show, it would seem only fitting.

8. Do it on tv!
Then after that show a side-by-side comparison with the same test run in a police station.
