Kimberly Lengle, of the Upper West Side, who graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, was hired as a producer for the “Dateline” series “Wild Wild Web” by supervisor Dan Slepian in 2012.
“NBC filmed Lengle for dozens of scenes using hidden cameras. Some scenes involved her saying and doing things that made her feel uncomfortable and vulnerable because of her sex,” her Manhattan civil suit claims.
Slepian criticized Lengle for not dressing provocatively enough and even asked why she didn’t have any nude photos of herself to send to men looking for “personal assistants” — who were really after sexual playthings, according to court papers.
“As part of the story development process, the producers required her to engage in sexual role play and serve as bait for the targets,” the filing says.
