Watkins is suing Sony, Woodridge Productions, Laura Benson, another co-executive producer William Roe, and a Senior VP at Sony Jordan Feiner.
The lawsuit ultimately states that Michael Watkins believes he is the victim of unlawful termination, and the victim of a “scorched Earth campaign” to hurt his professional career.
The lawsuit stated Watkins has yet to be given a true explanation behind his termination, or had an opportunity to engage in discussions with Human Resources in regards to what happened.
