MTV has decided to temporarily halt production on “Catfish: The TV Show” while Nev Schulman is facing sexual misconduct allegations.
On Thursday, a spokesperson for the Viacom-owned TV channel exclusively told The Daily Beast that MTV has suspended production on the famous docu-series, which Schulman hosts and executiveproduces
.
“We take these allegations very seriously. We’re working wit Critical Content, our third party production company, to conduct a thorough investigation, and we’ve put a pause on shooting until the investigation is completed,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The suspension comes after Schulman adamantly denied the accusations being thrown against him. The 33-year-old reached out to People and said, “The behavior described in this video did not happen and I’m fortunate that there are a number of former colleagues who were present during this time period who are willing to speak up with the truth. I’ve always been transparent about my life and would always take responsibility for my actions — but these claims are false.”
