Producer Mark Gordon Uses N-Word Twice At TV Pilot Table Read

I've learned that Lifetime formally notified Disney's ABC Studios that prominent TV and film producer Mark Gordon six weeks ago used the word "nigger" twice during a table read of the pilot for the Army Wives spinoff. He did it in front of cast and crew -- including two African-American actresses, pilot lead Gabrielle Union and Army Wives series regular Wendy Davis. "Lifetime took all appropriate steps and notified the studio that this is a situation that needs to be dealt with," an executive tells me.

In turn, a ABC exec informs me, "it was dealt with appropriately. I can't go beyond that."
