In 2019, Graziano became the showrunner of the drama series “Coyote.” On the show, Graziano’s behavior made numerous staffers uncomfortable. Several described their time working on the series in Hobbesian terms as nasty, brutish and short. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
David James, who worked as a script coordinator on “Coyote,” said the misery on the show was palpable. Rather than lean on staff for help, Graziano berated them, erupting and shouting them down, James recalled. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
“There was so much crying in that office; it was daily,” James said. “We had mostly glass walled offices and it seemed like a lot of people were upset and having a hard time. People constantly needed a moment,” he said. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

A former assistant said tensions grew when she told Graziano she had been groped by a producer they worked with in 2011. Graziano, she said, told her that he confronted the producer, who said, “She wore a cute red dress, what was I to do?” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
She claimed that instead of backing her, however, Graziano relayed to her that a studio executive told him that the person she accused was an “important showrunner” while she was a “nobody,” and that she should just not go into the office anymore. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
Graziano said his boss, the showrunner, told him the incident was an accident, that he did not have the power to fire the producer and reported the matter to the studio. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

#SVU showrunner David Graziano responds to claims made by former colleagues: “Though it would be easy and convenient, I refuse to blame some past behavior on the abuse I suffered as a child at the hands of a Catholic priest, as well as at home.” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
“Anyone who has worked in a writers’ room will know it is a matter of course to draw upon and use your own experience for the good of the show,” Graziano said in a statement responding to claims former colleagues made about his productions. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
“Unfortunately, I have a lot to draw from,” he added. “And with it comes a great deal of emotion, pain and deeply felt personal history. All any of us can do is evolve and grow. Real change is hard, and I continue to work on myself daily.” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

Former associates said Graziano objectified women, discussing them in tasteless, sexualized terms.

“He would talk in the writers’ room about how he might hit on women and how he would do it,” said a male writer who worked with the showrunner. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
The writer said Graziano used to run a line he’d use on women in bars in front of both sexes in the room, saying that “because we’re all just animals, one of the biggest indicators of sexual compatibility is actual smell.” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
Graziano then would demonstrate his technique, asking a woman to breathe in his scent and then offering to let her reciprocate.

“There was definitely a blurring of what’s appropriate and what was not at work,” the writer said. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

A former Graziano colleague who had trouble moving beyond the assistant level met with the #SVU showrunner after she had recently worked on a series about women who pay their bills by stripping online. Graziano, she said, suggested she do the same. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
His advice, she said, was to charge showrunners and “let them do whatever” in exchange for money. When she asked him to explain what he meant by “whatever,” she said, he cited the web series and laughed. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
Shortly after the meeting, she shared the incident with two friends, who confirmed to The Times that she had told them about the meeting. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

A former assistant claimed #SVU showrunner David Graziano often joked “about him wanting to hook up with me,” saying that “‘our relationship could’ve been very different.’” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
“‘We would have had a passionate night of sex with our clothes on the floor, but we would instantly have regretted it because we are like brother and sister,’” was a line she heard him use to describe other women, including coworkers. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
Graziano “would have never uttered such a personal and intimate statement” to his former assistant and denied that he made similar comments about others, his spokesperson said. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

While the showrunner for a series about a retired U.S. border patrol agent, Graziano shot down a story idea about migrant characters: “He said migrants are just ‘widgets,’” which Graziano denied. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
It was “demeaning and dehumanizing,” recalled a writer who was present. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
Graziano’s spokesperson said the showrunner championed the hiring of Mexican writers on a show that addressed racism against Latino immigrant communities, never made disparaging statements about immigrants & afforded all of the writers “the same respect.” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

Graziano’s rise through the TV ranks was accompanied by complaints that he fostered hostile workplaces — punishing underlings, throwing tantrums and disrespecting women — which he denies. Two people described the experience as “traumatizing.” lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
The showrunner denied making any inappropriate comments about women or people of color, adding that any remarks he made about women’s bodies or other sensitive topics was always in the context of creating a story, characters or dialogues. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
During a casting session for the Tim Roth series “Lie to Me,” Graziano became enraged when a junior writer disagreed with his choice of an actor, according to two people who were present and a third who heard about it the next day from other show staffers. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv

In June, Graziano — a prominent TV producer — was given the keys to “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” ahead of the NBC crown jewel’s record-setting 24th season.

But trouble was brewing behind the scenes. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
Not long after Graziano took over “SVU,” the show’s script coordinator quit. After the position was posted on a listserv that circulates among script coordinators, it triggered warnings from other individuals who had previously worked with Graziano. lat.ms/3Y4Eaxv
