Jeff Vaughn, Former KCAL Anchor, Files $5 Million Suit for ‘Anti-White’ Discrimination
Jeff Vaughn alleges that he was fired from KCAL and replaced by a Black anchor, in violation of anti-discrimination law.
Vaughn’s suit also notes that Wendy McMahon, the CEO of CBS News, has been lauded for prioritizing DEI initiatives, and for hiring and promoting women and people of color. In a similar discrimination case, Kyle Hunter sued KCAL and KCBS in 2012, alleging that the stations refused to hire him as a weathercaster because they were only looking for “younger attractive females.” “The fact that CBS hired two younger women to serve as its primetime weather anchors does not support a rational inference of pretext or discriminatory animus,” the appeals court held in that case.
