Hugh Hewlett is still pissed at being fired at MSNBC and wants Ronna to sue MSNBC staff who dissed her

I remember Hugh had a MSNBC show that did not last long. Hugh is an idiot and is upset that Ronna got dissed by Rachel and the entire MSNBC lineup.

...pretended to be a never-Trumper long enough to get a job on MSNBC, and whomever hired him should have known better. Chuck Todd, to his discredit, kept having Hoe on Meet the Press despite Hoe's adding nothing beyond his slavish shilling of the MAGA pukery.

Ronna's not going to sue anybody. She's going to take the (I believe) $150,000 dollars it took to send her packing and try to get a job somewhere else. She might even be too toxic and ethically challenged for Faux News since everyone now knows, through her own words, money will make her say whatever they need.

Sue the hell out of anyone who tells the truth about Hugh, I mean you. You know what I mean Hugh. Isn’t MSNBC firing Rona in line with the conservative wish to destroy diversity?

The burden of proof is on her. Plus, she is NOT ENTITLED to the job.

But it will be done quietly when the publicity dies down. if they did it now that would be just more gist for the TV shows and internet.

I don't know if she will throw in defamation, but the main suit will be breach of contract and intentional interference with a contract. NBC will quietly settle after people have moved on to other things.

Comcast legal might head it off with a settlement that includes a gag on both parties.
The easiest way to make this all go away.

And Trump’s “bleebs” were never going to watch anything but Fox News anyway, no loss to NBC there. What NBC stood to lose was it’s own viewership if they had brought her on MSNBC. Hewitt as usual is full of it. So thankful MSNBC kicked him to the curb. I guess at some point NBC realized we were all reaching for our remotes as soon as he graced our TV screens. He was/is so fucking irritating.
