In 2018, on an episode of his podcast, "Harmontown," Dan Harmon offered a public apology to Megan Ganz, who had been a staff writer on Community. Harmon admitted that he sexually harassed Ganz, tried to gaslight her into believing it wasn't happening, and then retaliated against her professionally when she made it clear she had no romantic interest in him. As part of his apology (which was nearly eight minutes long), he said with contrition, " I certainly wouldn't have been able to do it if I had any respect for women." The public radio program "This American Life" aired a segment on May 10, 2019, dedicated to the incident.
