I believe Danielle Graham has a current lawsuit filed for wrongful dismissal from Bell as in her case, she claims she was fired when she objected to discrimination and past over for promotion in her role as an entertainment reporter.
Bell Media claimed that it was following the previous host, Ben Mulroney's hope that the position was to be filled by someone who was a visible minority, person of colour or indigenous background. If some recall, at the time, Ben's wife was involved in some claims of racism or bullying some activist who was black and that was a bad look for the company.
I do think that some people are confusing mass layoffs in the industry with what may or may not be gender or race based discrimination for whomever.
Interesting times and I can see this potentially expanding with more stories and more beef with people who worked for Bell and feel they were wronged. It wouldn't be shocking to me to see the VP in charge of some of this mess be let go as a clean slate.
Just an observation.
