CBS Television Studios has fired veteran producer Brad Kern.
The studio confirmed that it terminated its relationship with the "NCIS: New Orleans" showrunner on Tuesday, which came after a series of allegations of misconduct in recent years.
"We have ended Brad Kern's role as consulting producer on 'NCIS: New Orleans' and his overall deal with the Studio," a spokesperson for CBS Television Studios said in a statement.
Kern, whose career credits include series such as "Charmed," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Remington Steele," previously served as the executive producer and showrunner of "NCIS: New Orleans."
He remained on the crime procedural as a consulting producer despite the company's 2016 investigation of allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior on the set of the program.
The Hollywood Reporter reported Tuesday that Kern was ousted after a third investigation began in June that looked into allegations of harassment, unprofessional conduct and vindictive behavior by Kern.
However, the studio declined to comment on whether that was why it ended Kern's deal on Tuesday. A rep for Kern did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment.
