Three former crew members of ABC's "Doctor Odyssey" are suing Disney and 20th Century for enabling months of sexual harassment by assistant prop master Tyler Patton. The lawsuit alleges Patton subjected them to sexual jokes, unwanted touching, and offensive images, with claims that his wife, the lead prop master, and Disney knew of prior harassment allegations against him. The suit further claims retaliation after the plaintiffs reported the harassment, resulting in the entire props department's layoff and subsequent rehiring. Disney has not yet commented; the show's future remains uncertain.
