Matt Groening Sued: Allegedly Failed to Stop Sexual Assault

Simpsons creator Matt Groening is being sued over alleged sexual assault that did not involve him, but that allegedly happened at his home. Giavanna Scotto says that when she worked as house manager at Groening's Santa Monica estate, she was subjected to nonconsensual groping and kissing, as well as inappropriate text messages and stalking behavior, from a male co-worker for most of her time at the job. She says she told Groening and his wife, but they failed to take any action to stop it, according to TMZ, which is the only mainstream outlet currently reporting the news. Scotto says she was abruptly fired in June 2022 without cause. (More Matt Groening stories.)
