She is the white New York woman who called police on a Black bird-watcher in Central Park last Memorial Day.
She is seeking from her former employer, who quickly fired her, "back pay and bonus, loss of unvested funds and other benefits, front pay or reinstatements, emotional distress damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and interest and punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial."
I assume that she signed one of those job acceptance letters saying that she understands that her employment can be terminated at any time for any reason or even for no reason. I understand that such agreements have not always held up, but her complaint seems very shaky. But... IANAL.
