Rita Ragone, a former hair stylist for the ESPN show Cold Pizza, has filed a sexual harassment suit against show hosts Jay Crawford and Woody Paige, ESPN, and Atlantic Video.The suit says that Crawford and Paige often said rude things to Ragone, cornered her, and that Paige once grabbed her rear so hard she jumped. She also says that ESPN executives told her not to make any trouble because the on-air talent was "untouchable." Crawford, Paige, and ESPN all deny the allegations.
Cold Pizza is no longer on the air, though Crawford still hosts another morning show on the network.
