DOOL News: Arianne Zucker Fired – Sues Producers
Arianne Zucker stunned Days of our Lives fans when she announced that she was suing the former executive producer, Albert Alarr, as well as the owner of Corday Productions, Ken Corday, over sexual harassment. Last summer, the investigation shocked and disgusted fans. The executive producer created a highly toxic environment for actresses and female crew members.
Last Thursday, February 8, 2024. Arianne Zucker tearfully alleged that “despite her loyalty to Ken Corday and Corday Productions,” her drive to stick up for herself and her fellow women is what “got me pushed out of my long-time career” on DOOL. The soap vet met with the press to discuss the retaliation for speaking out about the constant sexual harassment and misconduct she and others faced daily.
Further, Ms. Zucker has been a part of the Days of our Lives family for over twenty years. Albert Alarr lost his job back in August of 2023 after an investigation turned up many allegations, including sexually charged comments, groping, and forceful kissing, creating an overall toxic environment for women on the set. Ari claims the ex-producer ruled with fear.
In March of 2023, many female actresses left or were fired. Not only that, the all-female PR department was dissolved. Further, contracts were not renewed, and others decided to leave due to the work environment’s toxicity on the DOOL set. In addition, the show had no HR department of its own. Alarr did the hiring and firing.
Days of our Lives News: What Will Happen to Nicole Walker?
DOOL news reveals that the future of Nicole Walker and Arianne Zucker remains unclear. Last Fall, Ari lodged complaints about the harassment. However, Ken Corday reduced her pay. Then, writers wrote her off the show and brought her back. Nicole Walker’s scenes end sometime this summer.
Ms. Zucker did not say how negotiations were proceeding. She did not take questions after her press conference in Los Angeles. Of course, both Alarr and Corday deny all allegations. Days of our Lives viewers wait and wonder about the fate of Ari Zucker and the show. Will they settle out of court?
Meanwhile, will the online rehiring petition work? Other fans vow to quit watching DOOL because of the lawsuit. Everything hangs in the balance. Nicole Walker is a huge part of the show, love or hate her. Will the two-year renewal happen now?
How will Nicole exit Days for good? Does she find out that Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) fathered her baby? We know she will reunite with Jude. Plus, how does EJ respond to the baby news? After all, the DNA results have been right under his nose in the wall safe. Does he find out and keep the truth from her? Team Ericole may see a rekindling before Nicole leaves the show again.
