Television personality Keith Olbermann sued his former employer, Current TV, on Thursday, claiming breach-of-contract, unfair dealing and disparagement in an action filed in California Superior Court.
Current TV's co-founders, including former Vice President Al Gore, ousted Olbermann (pictured) last week.
"This action is necessary as Current has repeatedly and willfully breached its written agreement with Olbermann," the lawsuit said, "often continuing to do so after receiving specific notices to cure such breaches.
"In its most recent breach, Current unilaterally, and without cause, terminated its Agreement with Olbermann. Current's sudden and public termination of Olbermann was the latest in a series of increasingly erratic and unprofessional actions undertaken by Current's senior management," the lawsuit said.
FULL STORY
Please quit giving this piece of dung the publicity that he so desperately wants.
Right, and Rush Limbaugh is just picked on and misunderstood...
T up
please stop drinking fox news kool-aid it is rotting your brain.
I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not.
I'm a *liberal*, and I have to say that Olbermann's act is getting old. He should've stayed at ESPN back in the day.
LOL!
@Tori, how wonderful to hear from you on the blog. Dementia must be hitting you at such a young age. You know that I never make turkey and ham for Easter. You'll still get an Easter bssket though! See ya! (Eye roll)
In my opinion, Olbermann was great as a sports analyst at ESPN, Pretty good when he started at MSNBC, but something happened during his tenure there. His constant battle with Fox seemed to turn into a vendetta with no real news being covered. It's like if I wanted to hear about Bill O' I would have watched Fox..I didn't need a second hand rant. Kieth was "appalled" just once too often for me. Can't comment on his latest difficulties since we didn't get his show!
@Tori, speaking of Ug. Where are my cute Ugg boots?
Not really news 'cause who really cares? Now he can get a real job. Maybe get his hands dirty. Wouldn't that just be a shame?
I always think that about Rush L. Rush would have a cardiac or have to get a new wife.
a spa n king and you know who you are.
Yeah umtalkinayou! I LOVE that movie! Keith lost in space oberman is a FREAK!
I miss this guy..he was always talking about kicking Bill O'reillys @ss....! and with a cranium that size ...I believe he could... .
Tori, I can't find my white jeans anywhere! Did you borrow that and my pink tank top too?
As they say in the south "he's got the big head". Seems to keep getting in his way. He needs to start his own cable network. He doesn't have the temperment to work for others.
Rush has a big fat head.
nice share guys, well spoken
@lee he was fired for giving money to democratic campaigns from fox, go figure and he said "Current could not keep up with the bills and when he was on camera sometimes the lights would go out. Maybe Gore needs to pay his bills.
