Her lawyers will have a field day. They could get double the buyout because of emotional distress. It was a set up. If you fire someone for making a comment about “blackface” halloweeners, then you obviously were looking to fire her..the bad news is that she will end up owning a big chunk of that lousy network. I would consider that a ‘pyrrhic victory’.
I agree.
I confess that I didn't follow this very closely (I have no TV) but as I understand it, Kelly didn't exactly "make a comment". I think she asked a question. So NBC is in the position of firing a journalist because the journalist asked a probing question that made some people uncomfortable. Is that a fireable offense?
Just hand her $69M.
