A former ABC News anchor is suing the network, alleging racial discrimination and a toxic work environment. The lawsuit, filed in California, claims the anchor, a Black woman, was repeatedly denied promotions and opportunities given to less qualified white colleagues. The suit details instances of her ideas being dismissed and then adopted by others, along with racially insensitive comments.
The anchor alleges that ABC management ignored her complaints, fostering a discriminatory culture. She seeks damages for emotional distress and lost wages, and demands diversity training within ABC.
