Just guessing but there was a promise of payment of some kind for regular gig and she was never given the chance to fulfill it. That appears to the courts as if NBC wasn’t acting in good faith - ironic since taking her off air was acting in good faith for democracy. But here we are, life in the 21st Century, am I right?

Are you kidding? I'd sue too. jimfields33 Mar 26 #87

Let her sue MorbidButterflyTat Mar 26 #3

I agree..let her sue but I'm going to bet agingdem Mar 26 #28

Maybe, but the more NBC can prove she had given false info, the less the payout NBC might have to suffer. ancianita Mar 26 #32

Absolutely they should fire those responsible for hiring her. LiberalFighter Mar 26 #40

I want NBC to suffer...NBC didn't learn agingdem Mar 26 #48

Yes. It didn't learn because at core it's corporate, always wanting to expand its market. ancianita Mar 26 #77

re: "she was in a federal indictment as Co-conspirator 2" thesquanderer Mar 26 #60

Here's hoping, right? ancianita Mar 26 #78

Well of course Traildogbob Mar 26 #5

Don't know what she's whining about; she'll probably get a fat buyout check. bluesbassman Mar 26 #7

What case would she have? Does anyone have a right to be a paid contributor to NBC MadameButterfly Mar 26 #10

I'm not sure the case would argue any "right to be a paid contributor" TheProle Mar 26 #17

I guess we have to make it cost them more MadameButterfly Mar 26 #20

There's almost certainly a contract, so they'll have to buy it from her. Ocelot II Mar 26 #18

Indded ProfessorGAC Mar 26 #65

Depends on the wording of her contract. spooky3 Mar 26 #19

Why is everyone saying they are out of touch johnnyfins Mar 26 #49

listen to Olbermann's podcast ofr a while and you get an idea what these execs are like MadameButterfly Mar 27 #105

Anyone who did not know what this woman was all about Mr.Bill Mar 26 #66

She has a slam dunk breach of contract case. rsdsharp Mar 26 #23

Would the contract say time of day or location? LiberalFighter Mar 26 #47

I assume the contract defines her roll as a "contributor." rsdsharp Mar 26 #71

I like to think we all had a little to do with this. Prairie_Seagull Mar 26 #56

I attribute this change of heart angrychair Mar 26 #58

If shes just a contributor, probably not a lot she can sue for. getagrip_already Mar 26 #13

Depends. There might have been a contract under which she was to be paid Ocelot II Mar 26 #22

True, but at $300k/year, it wont be too painful getagrip_already Mar 26 #26

This is a direct result, and the main intent of Rachel's leading story last night MadameButterfly Mar 26 #14
