Daniel Stern recalls being a whistleblower on ‘90s sitcom over costars’ alleged harassment in new memoir

The “Home Alone” alum recounts a “terrifying” moment when he was sued by Columbia TV after he called out Jeremy Piven and Brett Ratner.

“They offered me a boatload of money, made me an executive producer… they had a big-name director, Brett Ratner and we cast great actors, including Jeremy Piven,” he recalls in his tome, reiterating that he originally had high hopes for the series. Rob Latour/ShutterstockStern alleges that soon after they began filming the pilot, women on set started confiding in him, claiming, that both “Brett and Jeremy were sexually harassing them, and they were afraid.” However, days before CBS unveiled its lineup, a producer allegedly called Stern in a fury – falsely accusing the actor of leaving a message for Moonves about how he didn’t want to do the series.
