HuffPost
Amy Cooper is accusing Franklin Templeton of defamation along with race and gender discrimination.
Amy Cooper, the white woman who called the cops on a Black birdwatcher in Central Park last year, is suing her former employer for discrimination. The suit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, accuses Franklin Templeton of failing to adequately investigate the confrontation before it fired her and for implying Cooper was racist in its public statements on the matter. Cooper maintains the global investment firm “created and nurtured” the false notion that she was a “privileged white female ‘Karen’” after video of her run-in with Christian Cooper (no relation) went viral.More Related News
