Emmy-Winning Journalist Claims CBS Forced Her Out For Being White In DEI Push
A former long-time Boston television anchor is suing CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, claiming that she was forced out of her job to make way for the media giant's DEI quotas. Katherine Merrill Dunham, better known to viewers as Kate Merrill, claims network executives were worried that WBZ-TV was becoming 'too white,' and chose to sideline her after more than two decades as an anchor at the station, according to court documents. The Emmy Award–winning broadcaster filed her legal complaint against CBS earlier this month, saying she was demoted, humiliated in front of colleagues, and eventually pressured to resign – all under the guise of CBS's 'DEI agenda.' According to the lawsuit, Merrill's troubles escalated when a black co-worker, meteorologist Jason Mikell, allegedly made a sexually charged remark about her on-air but faced no consequences. When Merrill raised concerns, she was hit with accusations of 'racial bias' from Mikell and another anchor. Paramount would go on to later discipline her for so-called 'microaggressions' and ordered her to undergo 'unconscious bias training,' per The New York Post. The following day, Merrill claimed the company leaders at her news station announced her demotion. Merrill insists she was the victim of malicious and false allegations. 'WBZ-TV exploited such policies and took career-ending action against Ms. Merrill to advance a DEI agenda,' her filing states. She also says minority colleagues were spared discipline for serious misconduct while she was labeled a racist and pushed out. CBS has had a contentious past connected to racially motivated practices. The lawsuit goes on to reference a past report alleging that former CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews promoted minority employees while pushing white journalists to the sidelines. Ciprian-Matthews allegedly became the focus of a six-month internal investigation by Paramount Global's human resources department over claims of biased hiring and workplace practices. She has since stepped down from her role as CBS News President. Paramount itself quietly scrapped its DEI programs earlier this year after mounting public backlash and regulatory pressure from the Trump administration. Merrill's contract runs until June 2025, during which time he is reportedly unable to work at another station. She is seeking damages for lost wages and harm to her reputation, claiming she has been financially and professionally devastated after more than 20 years dedicated to Boston's breaking news.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2' costume designer slams constant set photos: ‘Such a shame'
The devil is in the details. Emmy-winning costume designer Molly Rogers isn't thrilled with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' set photos making the rounds. 'You know, people are just gonna get burned out with all the paparazzi shots,' Rogers exclusively told The Post. Advertisement She was referring to all the set photos of Anne Hathaway, 42, and fellow cast members such as Meryl Streep, 76, and Emily Blunt, 42, filming the upcoming movie in New York City. 8 Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in 'The Devil Wears Prada.' AP 8 Anne Hathaway spotted filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in New York City. Felipe Ramales / Advertisement Social media has been flooded with snaps from the set, as fans have poured over their outfits and guessed at plot points. 'There's people monetizing my work. That are identifying every single thing they wear,' Rogers added. Hathaway and her co-stars have been identified as wearing clothing from Dries Van Noten, Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Dior, Coach, and more. 'It's just such a shame,' Rogers said. 'A lot of times, you feel like you've already seen the movie just by the exterior shots.' Advertisement The costume designer acknowledged, however, that if a scene involves characters 'doing a walk and talk in New York,' then 'you can't do anything about' bystanders taking photos. 8 Meryl Streep is seen in a red dress filming scenes on 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' set in Manhattan. Jose Perez / BACKGRID 8 Anne Hathaway on set filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' wearing a Dries Van Noten jacket, Levi's jeans, Saint Laurent boots, Favorite Daughter belt, Stella McCartney bag and Jemma Wynne necklace. ASPN / BACKGRID The set photos fall into a long trend of images hitting the internet before a movie debuts its trailer. Advertisement In recent months, there have been steamy set photos of Timothee Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow filming their movie 'Marty Supreme.' In an interview with The Post in February, 'The White Lotus' executive producer David Bernad said that one of the biggest 'struggles' of filming the Emmy-winning HBO hit show was that 'tourists were filming us filming.' 8 Emily Blunt filming 'Devil Wears Prada 2' at Marlow East in New York City. Blunt is wearing a Coach sweater, Maison Margiela skirt, Gianvito Rossi shoes and Dior sunglasses. Christopher Peterson / 'The White Lotus' Season 3 was shot in a real hotel in Thailand, where fellow guests were also vacationing on the premises. 'There was a moment where we were filming a pretty sensitive scene, and there was somebody filming from a hotel room,' Bernad recalled. He ended up calling the person over and watching as they deleted the footage from their phone. When megahit 'Game of Thrones' was filming its ending, the show was even rumored to have filmed multiple 'fake' endings, in an effort to avoid spoilers and leaks. 'I think they're filming a bunch of stuff and they're not telling us. I'm being serious….I think that they don't even trust us,' series star Emilia Clarke told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. 'There's lots of different endings that could happen; I think we're doing all of them and we aren't being told which is actually what's going to happen.' 8 Anne Hathaway on the set of 'The Devil Wears Prada II' in Brooklyn on August 5, 2025, wearing a Rabanne dress and bag and Rene Caovilla shoes. GC Images Advertisement Although leaked footage is understandably a thorn in the side of any production, many viewers enjoy dissecting them. It's become an unavoidable part of modern social media culture. The original 'The Devil Wears Prada' had costume designer Patricia Field, but Rogers, who has worked on 'Sex and the City' and the spinoff 'And Just Like That,' also worked on that film. Rogers has long been known as Field's protegee. Field, 83, hasn't publicly stated why she's not returning for the sequel, but she's also working on Netflix's 'Emily in Paris.' 8 Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in 2006's 'The Devil Wears Prada.' Advertisement 'I worked on the first [movie] with Pat,' Rogers said, referring to Field. 'I always try to follow her DNA, even though it's 20 years later, I think, for all these characters.' The original 2006 movie follows aspiring journalist Andrea 'Andy' Sachs (Hathaway), who ends up landing a job as an assistant to high-powered fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Streep). Andy isn't interested in fashion and wants to do more serious journalism, but she takes the job at the fictional Runway magazine, anyway. The two women have a battle of wills, but ultimately end in a place of mutual respect. Andy also butts heads with Miranda's senior assistant, Emily (Blunt) and bonds with art director Nigel (Stanley Tucci). 8 Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway seen on the set of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in NYC on July 29, 2025. Advertisement The sequel will see Hathaway, Streep, Tucci, and Blunt reprise their roles, joined by Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Simone Ashley, among others. Sydney Sweeney and 'Summer House' alum Paige DeSorbo were also seemingly spotted on set, even though roles haven't been officially announced. 'Entourage' star Adrian Grenier, who played Hathaway's love interest, will reportedly not reprise his role. Australian actor Patrick Brammall will step in instead. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' is expected to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.

Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job
Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job originally appeared on The Spun. 39 seasons ago New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms led the team to their first-ever Super Bowl title. In the decades since he retired, Simms has been working in broadcast media and for many years was part of CBS' No. 1 broadcast team alongside the legendary Jim Nantz. But Simms' contract at CBS expired after the 2023 season and last year he was working outside of the national sports spotlight. However, for the 2025 season he'll have a brand new job covering the sport he loves. The new job According to Newsday, Simms has been tabbed to work with NBC Sports covering college football games this fall. Per the report, he'll be serving as an analyst for three to-be-determined Big Ten football games on NBC's Peacock streaming service. Simms has both history and connections with NBC Sports. He previously worked for the network in the mid-1990s before embarking on his multi-decade run at CBS. His eldest son, Chris Simms, is currently one of the network's top analysts and has served as Mike Florio's co-host on ProFootballTalk Live. A mixed bag on commentary Simms isn't exactly beloved for some of his analysis though as he sometimes comes across as ignorant on the players he talks about. The most recent case that got on peoples' nerves was his coverage of New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook during Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Simms remarked that Cook didn't have any help and couldn't find much success while he was playing at Missouri, which got a number of college football fans pissed off at him: "You'd think some of these guys should know something about college football but they don't," one user on X remarked. "Yes, because back-to-back, 10-win seasons and 2 bowl victories screams no talent. Sheezh!" wrote another. "Routinely amazed how awful some CFB takes are from NFLers," a third said. "Mizzou had by far the best offensive line in the SEC and also had a great receiving corps. Their weaknesses on offense were exclusively the QB and RB play." You can't please everybody and judging by this reaction, Simms might find his way under the skins of college football fans in the months to come too. Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job first appeared on The Spun on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
