Lawsuit Arising From Bill Maher’s Use of the N-Word Moves Forward
https://www.tvweek.com/tvbizwire/2018/07/lawsuit-arising-from-bill-mahers-use-of-the-n-word-moves-forward/A lawsuit filed in March is moving forward after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Shonitria Anthony, who is suing the L.A.-based news site ATTN and its top executives, is likely to prevail on her discrimination and retaliation claims, The Hollywood Reporter’s THR-Esq. reports.
Anthony is alleging she was fired from her job as an editor with ATTN after she took actions in response to Bill Maher’s use of the N-word on his HBO series. The report notes that Maher is an investor in ATTN along with Apple Music, Jimmy Iovine and Ryan Seacrest.
