‘Survivor’ host Jeff Probst accepts ‘responsibility’ in handling of MeToo incident
Wednesday’s episode of “Survivor” sparked controversy when multiple female contestants accused a male player of inappropriate touching.The series’ #MeToo moment began with a conversation between players Kellee Kim and Missy Byrd, who both recalled several instances of unwanted contact initiated by Spilo that involved nonconsensual touching in areas such as the hair, ribcage and toes, as well as his wrapping his arm around Byrd as she tried to sleep.
Instead of taking Spilo out, the contestants sent Kim home, leading to an outcry on social media. Further complicating the scenario were conflicting testimonies from Byrd and Olympic swimmer Elizabeth Beisel — another castaway familiar with Spilo’s behavior — who appeared to share Kim’s concerns, but ultimately voted to keep Spilo on the island.
For their part, Byrd and Beisel later apologized on social media for making false claims about whether they, too, were upset by inappropriate contact from Spilo in order to gain an advantage in the game. The women praised Kim and Carbin for their courage and expressed shame for their failure to appreciate the gravity of the situation.
