Former TV hosts and network personalities who have settled lawsuits over sexual harassment report being "persona non grata" when applying for other media jobs, according to Vanity Fair's Diana Falzone. "There is no official blacklist, of course," writes Falzone. "And yet, multiple women, all of whom have settled high-profile lawsuits against serial sexual harassers, told me they struggled to continue their careers in media after defending themselves. One woman, who recalled being told she was 'overqualified' for a broadcasting job, lost out on a potential job after her interviewer asked why she had sued and settled with her previous employer...A former network anchor who sued for sexual harassment told me she was treated as persona non grata after news of her settled lawsuit went public."
