David Glasser, the former executive of the Weinstein Company fired last week, is planning to file an $85m wrongful termination suit against the company claiming that he “was scapegoated by the TWC board of directors”.
Glasser was set to lead the Weinstein Company after a $500m sale to a group of investors.
A spokesman for Glasser claimed that throughout his tenure at the Weinstein Company, he’d “worked tirelessly to protect the employees of the company from Harvey Weinstein’s frequent outbursts.
“We have never seen anything as despicable as what we’ve seen right here,” Schneiderman told reporters.
