Hallmark Hit With Age Discrimination Suit By Ex-Casting Exec; Stars Holly Robinson Peete & Lacey Chabert “Too Old,” Programming EVP Allegedly Said
Hallmark's Executive Said Lacey Chabert, Holly Robinson-Pete "Too Old", Discrimination & Defamation Lawsuit Claims
“The reality show is much more sinister,” adds near octogenarian Penny Perry of her ex-employers’ alleged attitude towards its staff, its talent and top stars like 60-year-old Holly Robinson Peete and 42-year-old Lacey Chabert.
