“Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner is denying the sexual harassment allegations made against him by writer Kater Gordon who worked for him on the AMC series.
While appearing at Chevalier’s Books in Los Angeles, Calif. on Friday to promote his new book “Heather: The Totality,” Weiner sat down with fellow television writer and producer Jenji Kohan. Kohan started the Q&A by addressing the elephant in the room.
“So, we’re here to talk about the book. This is a time that should be your victory lap,” Kohan began. “Just to get it out of the way, would you like to speak in regards to an accusation?”
In front of the packed audience, which included members of his family and store co-owner Darryl Holter, who called Weiner a “terrific guest” and noted his routine frequenting of the store, Weiner replied that “the allegation is not true.”
