Former RECORDING ACADEMY CEO & President DEBORAH DUGAN who was fired YESTERDAY, (NET NEWS 3/2) has filed a supplemental EEOC charge which you can read, here.

Attorney's for DUGAN, DOUGLAS H. WIGDOR and MICHAEL J. WILLEMIN, Partners at WIGDOR LLP, have stated, "Ms. DUGAN filed a supplemental EEOC complaint that details the vicious and unrelenting retaliation to which she has been subjected since she filed her initial EEOC complaint, in which she exposed misogyny, sexual harassment, discrimination and corruption, including voting irregularities, at the ACADEMY.

"Rather than remedy this conduct, the ACADEMY decided to sue MS. DUGAN and terminate her employment. In all of our collective years of practice, this is the most blatant act of retaliation we have ever encountered, and it represents the antithesis of all of the progress society has made on issues of discrimination and harassment in the past number of years.  

"Unfortunately, as alleged in the supplemental charge, the Academy’s conflicted attorneys at PROSKAUER ROSE LLP also are apparently stuck in an era of the past and believe that it is okay to advise clients to punish women and victims of discrimination for standing up and speaking out.  Indeed, as alleged in paragraph 39, PROSKAUER has a disturbing history of signing its name to malicious and retaliatory lawsuits against alleged victims of discrimination and harassment.”
