In a previous statement to The New York Times, Weatherly said he regretted what he said and how he made Dushku feel. "During the course of taping our show, I made some jokes mocking some lines in the script," his statement read. "When Eliza told me that she wasn't comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized. After reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza."

CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl later told reporters that the network would have "trained HR professionals visiting all our sets on a regular basis" and defended the decision to let the show go ahead amid the harassment claims. "When it came time to make a decision, we looked at it through a fresh lens, with new eyes, because a lot of us were learning about it for a first time," he said, according to EW. "We reassessed what happened. First and foremost, Michael made a mistake in his comments, he owned that mistake, he apologized at the time. He was remorseful and he apologized again when it came out. He indicated he was willing to take any kind of coaching, whatever training deemed necessary to create a positive environment."
