Resolution of Michele Gillen's lawsuit comes on the eve of trial.
CBS Broadcasting has come to a settlement agreement with Michele Gillen, an Emmy-winning investigative reporter based in Miami who alleged being fired due to her gender and age. The resolution heads off a trial that was scheduled to begin Dec.9.
Gillen filed suit in September 2018, a particularly sensitive moment for CBS. As the broadcaster dealt with a sexual harassment scandal at the top of the corporation, Gillen pointed to "toxic misogyny," which she blamed as the reason her contract wasn't renewed. Later in the case, she alleged that her WFOR-TV superiors hatched a scheme for her firing by giving her a story reporting quota without the resources to succeed.
