[oberliner]

Catfish star Nev Schulman has been accused of sexual misconduct.

MTV has temporarily suspended production on Catfish: The TV Show to investigate the allegations.

“We take these allegations very seriously,” an MTV spokesperson told PEOPLE in a statement. “We’re working with Critical Content, our third party production company, to conduct a thorough investigation.”

However, Schulman denied the allegations in a statement to PEOPLE: “The behavior described in this video did not happen and I’m fortunate that there are a number of former colleagues who were present during this time period who are willing to speak up with the truth. I have always been transparent about my life and would always take responsibility for my actions – but these claims are false.”
