Grammys Chief Deborah Dugan Sues Recording Academy, Claiming Sexual Harassment

Dugan claims her firing was based on a December 22nd, 2019 e-mail she sent to HR that included sexual harassment complaints against Joel Katz — the Academy’s general counsel and a former member and chair of the Academy’s Board of Trustees — whom she accused of making suggestive remarks and trying to kiss her.

Additionally, the e-mail contained an accusation against former Grammys CEO Neil Portnow: Dugan said that she was encouraged to hire Portnow as a consultant for $750,000 a year, but was not told that, at the time, there was an outstanding sexual harassment claim against her predecessor.

Is this why BTS_twt still hasn't gotten a Grammy after our boys deserve one

i just wanna say 'justice for bts'

melikeBTSPOP3 Wonder if Rolling Stone has ever seen that interview with Eminem where he says it's all a game and it's rigged.

This makes so much sense from my comedy Album Uncut’s snubbing a few years back. rollingstone gets it!

I remember years ago a well known rapper said the Grammys were rigged and that’s why he stopped attending 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Impeach the grammys

Lemonda & ANTI were robbed.

This reminded me of bombshell and the whole fox news story. GRAMMYS is cancelled

I can't wait for this lawsuit to move forward. If even a fraction of what Dugan has lodged is true, the Grammys have been reduced to a sham for a few disgusting men to siphon money/exposure off to themselves and their buddies while they walk over women + POC + LGBT.
