“Day and night, I was looking for a job, any job, but nobody would hire me because my name was tarnished,” Moeinpour told NBC News.
“Now, my good name has been restored.”UAB, according to the jury verdict, was ordered to pay Moeinpour $3 million in damages.
Finally, Moeinpour told Grubbs on Feb. 13, 2020, that she had gone over his head and called human resources.
