Oprah Winfrey’s Network Sued for Discrimination

A woman, named Catherine Dunn who was an assistant at OWN, is suing Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network because she claims that she was subjected to a hostile work environment due to her suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. She claims that during her employment there she was forced to take a stress leave and a leave of absence because of her MS symptoms were exacerbated because of stress in the workplace. She says that when she was out on leave, she was replaced with a non-disabled and younger worker. Dunn is suing for wrongful termination and asking for unspecified damages.
