Days of our Lives actress Arianne Zucker has filed a lawsuit against the show's former executive producer and production company for sexual harassment. The lawsuit names Corday Production Inc., Ken Corday, and the ex-producer Albert Alarr as defendants. Zucker claims that she and other women on the show were subjected to non-consensual sexual touching and sexual comments by Alarr. She alleges that Alarr would often pull her into his chest while making sexual sounds and made inappropriate comments to her co-stars about wanting to switch positions during sex scenes.
Zucker also claims that other people in charge were aware of Alarr's behavior but failed to take any action to stop it. Zucker met with Sony's Human Resources department between March and June 2023 to discuss the situation while Alarr continued to work on the show. However, when Zucker's contract expired, she says those in charge did not negotiate with her in good faith. She is suing for unspecified damages for harassment, discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring and supervision, and wrongful termination.
Days of our Lives released a statement acknowledging the lawsuit but did not provide any further details. This case adds to the ongoing drama surrounding Alarr's exit from the show in August. Soap Hub will continue to update on this story as it develops.
