Video: CTV’s Paul Bliss Fired For Allegedly Whipping Up Some Weiner Wine In Front Of Female Colleague
Source – A prominent CTV News reporter who was suspended after a woman made sexual misconduct allegations against him is no longer with the company, Bell Media said Tuesday.
A spokesman for the company confirmed the departure of Paul Bliss but refused to provide further details.
“We don’t comment on the specifics of individual employee matters,” Scott Henderson said in an email to The Canadian Press.
Bliss did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The allegations against him have not been verified by The Canadian Press.
The veteran reporter, who worked at CTV’s bureau at the Ontario legislature, was suspended in late January hours after the publication of a blog post containing allegations by Bridget Brown, who describes herself as a Calgary-based entrepreneur and former CTV employee.
Henderson, Bell Media’s vice president of communications, said at the time that Bliss had been suspended pending an investigation in light of the allegations.
In the blog post titled “MeToo in Canadian Broadcasting,” Brown detailed an alleged sexual incident involving an unnamed CTV reporter in the spring of 2006. She said she had reached out to the reporter she had met at a party a few weeks earlier to ask if he wanted to get coffee with her.
The reporter “suggested instead I come to his office after his shift,” Brown wrote, which she did.
After showing her around, they ended up in his office where, she said, he started kissing her and pushing on the top of her head. She said she told him she wasn’t interested and that he then allegedly performed a sex act in front of her.
Again may I remind you of due process but it appears jerking it the method by which most men are choosing to forge relationships at work.
What happened to dinner and drinks? What happened to the casual conversation or a quick text?
I’m lost when it comes to this because grabbing a chicks head to push her into the BJ pose or masturbation is usually reserved for long-term consensual relationships and when it’s unwanted you don’t whip your junk out. At least I don’t think you do.
To be fair I’m assuming the “sex act” is whacking off but I can’t confirm it. He might have put a thumb in his ass or started fondling his nuts but I doubt it.
Anyway, add Paul “Pure Weiner” Bliss to the list. Sounds like he earned it.
