Writers Guild of America, East Executive Director Lowell Peterson penned an op-ed which appears today, which reads in part: “If the networks want to keep their collaborators safe, reduce the embarrassments from cancelled shows, and prevent lawsuits that hold them liable for accidents, things have to change. It’s time for reality TV to stop treating people like chattel.”
