Arianne Zucker has filed a lawsuit against Corday Production Inc.

Zucker alleges that Alarr sexually harassed her and other female employees on the show. The court documents obtained by TMZ reveal disturbing details of the alleged harassment.

The actress claims that during Alarr's employment, she was subjected to nonconsensual sexual touching and sexually harassing comments. She states that he would frequently pull her close to his chest and make sexual moans.

Additionally, Zucker alleges that Alarr would make sexually suggestive remarks while filming, such as telling her costars filming sex scenes with her that he would "love to switch positions" with them. Moreover, she claims that Alarr made it clear that he enjoyed aggressive sex scenes.

Disturbingly, Zucker says that Alarr's behavior was known to other producers, but Corday Production Inc. allegedly did nothing about it despite multiple women coming forward over the years. It was only after the allegations against Alarr went public that he was fired in August, which Zucker believes was a move to "save face."

As the soap opera star's contract was ending, she attempted to negotiate with Corday Productions. However, she claims they gave her a "take it or leave it" offer and refused to negotiate in "good faith."

Due to the expiration of her old contract last month, Zucker believes she was essentially fired from her job.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, over 25 cast members of the hit soap opera signed a petition demanding Alarr be fired.

Alarr's attorney, Robert M. Barta, gave an official statement to RadarOnline.com, saying, "As Albert said when Ms. Zucker first leveled these outrageous claims through the press last year, her baseless allegations were examined in a detailed and entirely independent investigation that lasted for two months. Dozens of individuals cooperated and every claim was thoroughly looked into. At the end of that process, the decision was made that Albert should continue in his role as Co-Executive Producer of Days of Our Lives."

"As Ms. Zucker’s own lawsuit all but admits, at a time of industry-wide cutbacks, she was aggressively seeking a significant personal pay increase and additional influence on the show. Having failed in those attempts, she is now - again - trying to exploit vile stereotypes to denigrate and demean a Black man who was in a position of power," Barta continued.

"Well, enough is enough. Every day for decades, Albert worked with hundreds of people who can - and will - testify about the falsity of Ms. Zucker’s mischaracterizations of him. We relish having a chance to share the truth and putting an end to her offensive claims once and for all."
