The head of CBS on Thursday defended the networks decision to continue airing the show Bull despite sexual harassment allegations against star and executive producer Michael Weatherly from actress Eliza Dushku by citing the legal dramas popularity.

Its a show that does very well, CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said at the networks presentation for the Television Critics Association. Its a very popular show. More than 10 million people watch every week. Michael is loved by our audience, and even after these allegations came out, people continued to watch. Its a popular show we want to keep on our air, and its a very good show as well.

Kahl also defended the decision by saying Weatherly was remorseful and apologetic, and is undergoing leadership coaching.

In December, The New York Times revealed that CBS paid Dushku a $9.5 million settlement , after she confronted Weatherly about what she said were inappropriate comments to her on set in 2017, including remarks about sex and rape.
