Information “precludes us from continuing our relationship,” CBC spokesman says
Quote:
CBC’s sudden decision to cut ties with star host Jian Ghomeshi came after “information” came to the public broadcasters attention that “precludes us from continuing our relationship,” a senior spokesman told the Star.
What that information is, CBC media relations chief Chuck Thompson said he was not at liberty to say.
Ghomeshi took a leave of absence Friday from his popular show Q, one of the most successful programs in the public broadcaster’s history.
Ghomeshi is claiming general and punitive damages for among other things, breach of confidence and bad faith in the amount of $ 50 million, the statement said. He will also launch a grievance for reinstatement under his collective agreement.
There are rumours going around that he sexually assaulted underage women.
