An NBC spokesperson told The Wrap: “NBC is committed to providing a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity.
Two camera operators on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon have filed a lawsuit against NBC alleging that they were fired for being Caucasian.
It is alleged that Questlove “demanded that Plaintiffs’ employment be terminated” and that Kelley “receive no adverse employment action whatsoever.
As The Wrap reports, the suit claims that on 19 June, 2017, the pair, along with Roots member Mark Kelley, received an ‘unsolicited racist and misogynist text” from a show stagehand.
