Oprah Sued By Former Employee
Posted on Sat Aug 14, 2010 01:42 PM PDT
Oprah Winfrey's new OWN network is being sued by a former employee who is claiming wrongful termination and discrimination after the executive assistant was allegedly let go due to her battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
Catherine Dunn, the former employee in question, started work with the network in August of 2008. In her lawsuit, she claims she was forced to take a leave of absence when her "hostile work environment" exacerbated her MS. While on leave, she says she was replaced by a "non-disabled and younger employee."
Dunn is seeking unspecified damages.
Dayum, Oprah!

DaMN SHE is hideous even uglier than Mooch-elle Obama.
Good luck to Catherine Dunn.
wack
it's the throwback
She is taking her anger put on Oprah but really, it's our crazy American system of survival of the fittest.
A sick person should have the right to get treated and be able to recuperate until they are better.
No, that's not socialism. it's common sense and humanity.
I just don't get why this hideous dumb woman is so rich and famous
Why does this not surprise me. Harpo the Hippo is a big fan of Rosie O'Donnel, and several her employees are sueing her for some of the very same things.
Why we all can not uderstand that hard work pays off, that is what Ophra has done.I congratulate her for her success.
JUST PLAIN OLD GREED!! (SUE HAPPY SOCIETY) BEING DISABLED DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU TO SPECIAL TREATMENT, YOU WANT TO BE EQUAL, WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU CRY FOUL, CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS
