ABC Boss on 'Rookie's Afton Williamson Harassment Claims: 'I Don't Have a Lot of Answers'

UPDATED (2:25 p.m. ET):
ABC President Karey Burke has now addressed the ongoing investigation into claims The Rookie's Afton Williamson made via social media Sunday.
During the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, Burke said she is "waiting for the result of the investigation" and "doesn't have many answers," according to Variety.
"I don't have a lot of answers," Burke began her statement. "I learned alongside my colleagues at the end of June that there were allegations and that an investigation had been launched by eOne and I'm waiting for the results of that investigation."
"I can trust the investigation because its being done by an independent hired party. I'm hopeful that those results will be independent and trustworthy," Burke confirmed. "At that time those answers and conclusions will help guide [us] as to how to deal with the situation."
ORIGINAL STORY (10:30 a.m. ET):

The actress played Talia Bishop in the first season of the ABC series.
Williamson did not name names in her post, but said she reported her complaints to the show's producers and no action was taken against the alleged offenders.
A representative for production company eOne told Deadline: "We take claims of this nature very seriously. We have initiated an independent investigation which is ongoing and as such, it would not be appropriate to comment at this time."
ABC Studios confirmed eOne "made us aware and informed us that they launched an investigation that is ongoing."
"The safety of working environments is a top priority for us, and we take this matter very seriously," ABC added.
