MTV has suspended their popular show Catfish due to sexual misconduct allegations against the show’s host Yaniv “Nev” Schulman, according to USA Today.
On Thursday, MTV emailed a statement to USA Today stating, “We take these allegations very seriously, we’re working with Critical Content, our third-party production company, to conduct a thorough investigation and we’ve put a pause on shooting until the investigation is completed.”

While describing her experience on the show she accused Schulman of making several inappropriate sexual comments.
Schulman, 33, responded to and denied these allegations in his own statement sent to USA Today.
