'Lost' Star Sued for Sexual Harassment

Posted Apr 24th 2009 7:45PM by TMZ Staff

Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Desmond on the show "Lost," is being sued for sexual harassment.

According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Chelsea Stone claims that while working on the show, Cusick placed his hand on her buttocks and caressed the back of her body while making moaning sounds.

She also claims Cusick "placed his face on top of [her] breasts, moving his face from side to side." He then squeezed her breasts with his hands.

According to the lawsuit, approximately twelve days after this went down, Stone was let go. ABC and Grass Skirt Productions are also named as defendants. She is seeking unspecified damages.

Cusick's rep had no comment.

17. Her right & privilege to sue the man & recover damages if the accusations are true. sexual harassement was not part of the job description.

18. Sounds like fun, not harassment. Lighten up!

19. Who? Even Google doesn't know who she is, unless she's a 20 year old model from Orlando that once upon a time posted a profile.

Too bad too, sounds like she must've been hot.

20. who is chelsea stone?

and it's really sad that everyone thinks sexual harassment is okay because its not. it sounds like most of you need to grow up. it doesn't matter if he's hot, that is just not okay.

21. How did she let him get away with doing that much if she didn't want it? Motorboating requires 4-5 secs at least. A push would have taken 1.

22. he's a damn sexy man, I can't see any woman having a problem with him. this just sounds like a bunch of baloney- hopefully they won't kill him off the show, he's the reason I watch it

23. GoldieOK- ITA.

If he did it, then he deserves to go to jail and pay whatever damages he owes. If not, she needs to grow up and realize that this kind of crap only undermines real victims of sexual harassment.

24. So she said nothing until after he'd put his face in her tits and squeezed them? Sounds like she enjoyed it.

25. Last time I checked, sexual harassment was still a crime. Would you men enjoy it if he grabbed your butt? I mean, if he's so hot, you should like it, too.

28. Oh Desmond, Eloise said your work wasn't done.

On a more serious note, that is a bit disappointing to hear. Desmond is one of my fav characters on the show, and Henry Cusick is a brilliant actor.

His actions won't affect my enjoyment of the show or his character, just a bit of a let down. Then again, I also believe that everyone is innocent till proven guilty. So we'll see what happens with this. I'm assuming it will just get swept under the rug (settlements etc).

30. Sounds like the b-tch just wants money.
How much do you want to bet that while he was doing those things (if he was at all), she was giggling the whole time.
