“It was Jasmin's first real job in television, and it was a big deal for her.
“She was looking for a mentor and she reached out to several people. TJ was someone who was responsive, but he absolutely abused the position of trust.”

“We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions."
