"Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner has publicly denied the sexual harassment allegation levied against him.
Kater Gordon, an assistant-turned-writer, told The Information on November 9 that Weiner told her that she owed it to him to see her naked.
"I will just say what I've said: the allegation is not true," Weiner said at an event here.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, he then addressed the larger issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, emphasising that "this is a very important topic and a topic that has been an obsession of mine, in my work and in my life
and for, like, 92 hours of the show.
"We wanted people to be having this conversation and it's great that were having it. It's a very serious issue.
