Yet another public figure has been put into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, with the latest being Gregg Zaun, now "formerly" of Sportsnet.

Multiple female employees at Rogers complained about "inappropriate behaviour and comments" from Zaun.

"This week, we received complaints from multiple female employees at Sportsnet regarding inappropriate behaviour by Gregg Zaun in the workplace," the statement from Sportsnet read. "After investigating the matter, we decided to terminate his contract, effective immediately. This type of behaviour completely contradicts our standards and our core values. We believe in a professional workplace where all employees feel comfortable and respected. We are grateful to our employees who spoke with us and we will take every measure to protect their privacy."

There were no allegations of any physical assault of any kind, including sexual. 

The former Blue Jays catcher began his broadcasting career in 2006, and joined Sportsnet in 2011.
