Gotta see what this suite is really about. Too many snowflakes now a days looking to make a quick buck and lots of lawyers around.
Either way though good to see an SJW/Lefty get a taste of their own medicine. Hopefully the details are sordid. A little bit of sexual assault, maybe some racism, some transphobia would hit the spot too.
EDIT: Reading the original buzzfeed article and it sounds like Bullshito
A Black woman who used to work on The Ellen DeGeneres Show told BuzzFeed News she experienced racist comments, actions, and “microaggressions” during her year and a half as an employee. She said when she was hired, a senior-level producer told her and another Black employee, “Oh wow, you both have box braids; I hope we don’t get you confused.” And at a work party, she said, one of the main writers told her, “I’m sorry, I only know the names of the white people who work here,” and other coworkers “awkwardly laughed it off” instead of coming to her defense.
When the former employee brought up issues of race and representation on the show and asked producers not to use offensive terms like “spirit animal” in segments, her colleagues called her “the PC police.”
When she started to speak up about the discrimination, she said, all of her colleagues distanced themselves from her.
“Whenever I brought up an issue to my white male boss, he would bring up some random story about some random Black friend that he had and how they managed to get over stuff,” she said. “He would use his Black friend as some way to say, ‘I understand your struggle.’ But it was all performative bullshit.”
After one year at Ellen, she said she asked for a raise after learning another recent hire made double for doing the same job, despite her having worked in the television industry for a decade. Her manager told her “they’d see what they could do,” but months went by and nothing happened, she said. "They definitely don’t practice what they preach with the ‘be kind’ mantra."
The former employee said she was also called into a meeting with executive producer Ed Glavin, where she was reprimanded for her objections to the term “spirit animal,” asking for a raise, and suggesting employees on the show receive diversity and inclusion training.
“He said that I was walking around looking resentful and angry,” she said.
None of this is racist or abusive. And I wouldn't want any diversity training either. And who cares about her stupid opinion about the term spirit animal. And of course she didn't get her raise gotta be racism LOL. Someone talking about a black friend, so racist.
And it sounds like most of this has nothing to do with Ellen.
I hope there is more to this story because ya its sounding like BS. And I don't even like that lesbo Ellen FFS.
