Days of Our Lives and Arianne Zucker, ex-Nicole, Settle Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Lawsuit
In February 2024, former Days of Our Lives star Arianne Zucker filed a lawsuit against the show’s producers in which she alleged sexual harassment and discrimination — but that litigation has come to an end as the parties have reached a settlement, the The L.A. Times is reporting.

Zucker first joined the Salem ranks back in 1998 and played the role on and off over the years, with her most recent stint concluding in 2023 (due to DAYS’s accelerated production schedule, her final episode did not air until July 2024).
In the suit she filed against Corday Productions Inc., which produces DAYS, as well as its executive producer, Ken Corday, and the show’s former executive producer, Albert Alarr, Zucker alleged that Alarr sexually harassed her and other females employed at DAYS, and that Corday Productions did not respond adequately when she surfaced these allegations to HR.
She also claimed that in October 2023, when her current DAYS contract came up for renegotiation, Corday Productions failed to negotiate a new deal “in good faith,” which, she alleged, amounted to wrongful termination. Alarr’s employment at DAYS was terminated in August 2023.

At the time, a spokesperson for DAYS said in a statement: “The allegations in Ms. Zucker’s lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions offered to renew Ms. Zucker’s contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker’s counteroffer does not constitute retaliation. Complaints about Mr. Alarr’s on-set behavior were promptly investigated. Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.”
While the terms and details of the settlement are not being disclosed, notice of it was filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. Alarr’s attorney, Robert Barta, said in a statement to the L.A. Times, “Our client continues to deny the allegations set forth in the complaint. However, in order to bring the litigation to the end, he has agreed to settle. This decision was made solely to end the dispute and move forward.”
Attorneys for Corday and Corday Productions did not immediately respond to the Times‘s request for comment.
