Toronto Argonauts,Strength And Conditioning Coach,Wrongful Dismissal Lawsuit

A former strength and conditioning coach for the Toronto Argonauts has updated her wrongful dismissal lawsuit to include specific allegations against quarterback Chad Kelly, the highest-paid player in the Canadian Football League. The coach is seeking reprimand for Kelly's alleged bad behavior and is calling for women to be treated with respect.

A former Toronto Argonauts strength and conditioning coach has amended her wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the Canadian Football League team and quarterback Chad Kelly , including specific allegations of bad behaviour by the league’s highest-paid player and reigning Most Outstanding Player .

She is suing the 29-year-old Kelly for $50,000 for alleged violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Argos and Kelly jointly for $85,714, claiming wrongful dismissal. She is also seeking $10,000 worth of punitive damages. “We do not believe the claims made against Mr. Kelly have any merit and are taking steps to defend the action,” added Nancy M. Shapiro, Kelly’s lawyer.The former coach was hired by the Argos in May 2018 as assistant strength and conditioning coach, becoming the first woman to be hired in the role by the team.

“Days leading up to the NFL game, Chad was adamant about the group getting an Airbnb and staying for the night after the game,” the lawsuit says. “After him multiple times that she would be leaving right after the game to go back home, Chad continued to try to get to stay over.” An hour after their conversation, the coach ate breakfast with a group of at least eight others, including her supervisor, Usama Mujtaba, the lawsuit says, adding that when Kelly saw her, he yelled derogatory words across the room at her and stated he couldn't wait until she was fired.
