Ghomeshi out at CBC; intends to sue [View all]

The CBC has ended its relationship with renowned broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi after receiving information that “precludes” the corporation from continuing to employ one of its biggest stars.

In an e-mail, CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson said “Information came to our attention recently, that in CBC's judgement, precludes us from continuing our relationship with Jian Ghomeshi.”

“The CBC is saddened to announce its relationship with Jian Ghomeshi has come to an end,” the corporation said in an earlier statement. “This decision was not made without serious deliberation and careful consideration. Jian has made an immense contribution to the CBC and we wish him well.”

In response, lawyers for Mr. Ghomeshi say he intends to sue the CBC for $50-million when courts open Monday morning.
