The white woman who was recorded on video calling police to claim that a Black bird-watcher was threatening her in New York City's Central Park last year filed suit against her former employer, alleging that the company did not properly consider her fear for personal safety prior to firing her.
Amy Cooper filed a federal complaint against investment management company Franklin Templeton on Tuesday, alleging that the company terminated her based on her race and gender while also failing to properly investigate the viral incident that made national headlines. The lawsuit, filed exactly a year after the Central Park confrontation, requests a jury trial.
Franklin Templeton characterized the lawsuit's claims as “baseless” in a statement Wednesday and plans to defend itself.
“We believe the circumstances of the situation speak for themselves and that the Company responded appropriately,” the statement said.(snip)
“Following our internal review of the incident in Central Park yesterday, we have made the decision to terminate the employee involved, effective immediately," Franklin Templeton said in a statement. "We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton."
Amy Cooper alleges in her lawsuit that Franklin Templeton failed to launch a legitimate investigation into the matter and its public statement added legitimacy to the “Karen” narrative.(snip)
The complaint filed Tuesday to the Southern District of New York alleges that “even a perfunctory investigation” would have shown that Amy Cooper did not shout at Christian Cooper “because she was a racist,” but because “she was alone in the park and frightened to death.” The lawsuit goes on to characterize Christian Cooper as “an overzealous birdwatcher engaged in Central Park’s ongoing feud between birdwatchers and dog owners.”

The employer and this woman deserve each other. Employer fired her out of political correctness that she affronted a black dude and now she sues them on grounds of political correctness that she was fired because she is a woman. Hope they both lose.
Anyone else notice that black was capitalized but white was not?
A black birdwatcher? I’m not buying it.
the way I read it initially is the guy was an arrogant sob trying to stop her from doing what she loved...running her dog......
“A black birdwatcher? I’m not buying it.”
I doubt her attorney will work that angle at trial.
She herself is a Leftist. How ya like cancel culture now honey?
The guy was a birdwatcher and she had her dog in a bird watching area, no dogs allowed because it scares the birds.
Even so
She chose to voluntarily put herself in the park alone
And i would bet her employment arrangement is “at will”
Further the optics of her little “demnostration” are poor any way you look at them, shes a little karen racist elite white libtard woman
I thought her name was Karen.

statute o limitations was about to run out. When did she make up her mind she was gonna sue? Sh wins and she gets a years pay. Smart.
She had her dog off-leash in a bird sanctuary.
She was 100% in the wrong.
He merely asked her to put her dog on its leash, mentioning that he could have dog treats.
She called the cops with the treats being the threat to her and her dog.
Not just that
She was villified and rightly so then
She needed it to die down and go away off peoples radar in hopes a shyster lawyer could get a warped enough jury who forgot about it to comsider granting her money for her racism and swatting, when she was in the wrong
The White woman is insane.
The black dude did nothing wrong.
The Company that fired that White woman though is part of why “cancel culture” is so dangerous.
This woman is why you dont get married today guys
Shes a normal typical modern woman
She wont take any responsibility for her actions
Blames everyone and everything else
Even with the evidence recorded against her, she wants to go to court
Her mind wont let her be wrong
Now hows about having a relationship with a woman like this guys? Bet you didnt think Mrs Right meant Mrs Always Right.
That means youre always wrong, never right, you’re always the problem.
Sad thing is she is not the exception, shes the norm. You’re more likely to get one like her than not.
Now imagine she hates you and wants to divorce you. Imagine the picture that she and her shyster divorce lawyer will paint of you to the gynocentric divorce court. And truly God help you if you have kids with a woman like this.

Thank Social Media for the rise of these garbage know-nothing “journalists” who are as deep as a mud puddle.
She is a leftist bore, but still. These companies are disgusting with the way the fire people over out of context mobile footage, and usually the footage starts after something is already started, so we have no idea what could have been said or done to her before hand.
Most news publications in the U.S., what's left of them, have gone (quite literally) to coronating blacks with the capital B, while we filthy whites are condemned to lower case.
Why hundreds of American newsrooms have started capitalizing the ‘b’ in ‘Black’ Image without a caption In recent weeks, many news organizations have started capitalizing the “b” in Black as they grapple with how they have historically covered race. By Elahe Izadi June 18, 2020 at 10:42 p.m. UTC In the span of barely more than week, as news organizations responding to a wave of national protests have wrestled with how they have historically covered race, hundreds have made one small but potent change: They have started capitalizing the B in “Black.” Publishers say they were inspired to make the change after hearing from readers, employees and community leaders, and that it is intended to better reflect the large swath of the population descended from the African diaspora as well as grant the word the same emphasis as other ethnic and racial descriptors. “When people are offended by how we describe their community, we have to listen,” said Cristina Silva, an editor at USA Today and co-chair of the newspapers’s diversity committee, in a statement. USA Today and its affiliated network of more than 260 local papers adopted the change late last week. The Los Angeles Times, NBC News, MSNBC, BuzzFeed and the McClatchy newspaper chain have also moved to capitalize the word. On Friday, the Associated Press announced that it would also begin to capitlize. In a statement, The Washington Post said its editors are still considering whether to capitalize.
She called the cops on the guy and tried to get them to swat him.
