In a statement Wednesday, his attorney said Combs “is shocked and disappointed” by Richard’s lawsuit. According to the suit, Richard tried multiple times to intervene, offered Ventura support and encouraged her to leave Combs. Like other lawsuits, including Ventura’s, Richard’s suit depicts Combs as violent and controlling. Throughout the productions of the “Making the Band” series, the suit alleges, she and the members of Danity Kane were deprived of basic needs such as adequate food and sleep. The suit also alleges Richard attended parties at Combs’ houses, where she witnessed what she believed were inebriated underage girls being sexually violated by Combs and his guests.

Jeffrey Epstein's death in a federal jail was seen as a shocking Justice Department failure. But more than three years later, the office still hasn't released its report into the circumstances of Epstein's death. "We all took it by surprise," Mark Epstein told Insider. Barr tasked the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, and the FBI with investigating "​​the circumstances of Mr. Epstein's death." Mark Epstein told Insider that he spoke to his brother about once a month in the years before his death.
Elon Musk last month offered thousands of laid off Twitter workers a limited severance deal. The former workers, laid off in November, say they were promised much better severance than what Musk finally offered them last month. In addition, laid off Twitter employees also filed a handful of class action lawsuits in federal court. It also effectively prohibits them from ever speaking about Musk, Twitter, or their experience at the company. Even those relatively few Twitter workers who signed off on Musk's severance agreement could speak freely about the company going forward.
Elon Musk last month offered thousands of laid-off Twitter workers a limited severance deal. In addition, laid-off Twitter employees also filed a handful of class-action lawsuits in federal court. Instead, Musk is offering laid-off workers one month of base pay as severance. It also effectively prohibits them from ever speaking about Musk, Twitter, or their experience at the company. Even those relatively few Twitter workers who signed off on Musk's severance agreement could speak freely about the company going forward.
A former Twitter manager says the company's plans "went to garbage" after Elon Musk bought it. The number of ex-staff suing Twitter "goes up daily," a lawyer fighting the company told the broadcaster. "We wanted to make people's lives more pleasant and more productive," Amir Shevat told the broadcaster. In his less than four months since taking control of Twitter, Musk has introduced sweeping changes to the platform. Shevat told the BBC that Twitter should have laid off staff "in a legal way, empathetic way and a highly communicative way."
The letter also said Twitter has failed to provide information about the selection criteria used to determine the layoffs. The letter states that 43 affected UK employees are prepared to take the issue to an Employment Tribunal, a UK system for employees to bring legal disputes against their employers, if the company does not agree to cooperate with negotiations over the layoff process. The warning marks the latest challenge to Twitter from former employees affected by mass layoffs that took place after Elon Musk acquired the company in October. Twitter is also facing four proposed class action lawsuits in the United States related to the layoffs. (Typically, negotiations over mass layoffs by UK companies involve discussions of the reasons for terminations and how to minimize their size and impact.)
New York CNN —After months of uncertainty and feeling left in the dark, many former Twitter employees impacted by a mass layoff in early November began receiving their severance offers over the weekend. The severance offer promises one month’s pay in exchange for agreeing to various terms, including a non-disparagement agreement and waiving the right to take any legal action against the company, according to Lisa Bloom, a lawyer representing dozens of former Twitter employees affected by the layoffs. The former Twitter employees are now stuck deciding whether to accept the money or join the hundreds of others who have already filed arbitration demands or lawsuits against the company. “We’ve been hearing from hundreds of Twitter employees who are considering their options and not happy about only being offered one month severance, after they were promised much more,” Shannon Liss-Riordan, another lawyer working on behalf of former Twitter employees, told CNN in a statement Monday. The severance offer would also require that employees who sign agree not to cooperate as a witness in any legal actions brought by third parties against Twitter.
Elon Musk said each laid-off employee would get three months' severance. A lawyer told CNN the separation date for laid-off staff was Thursday but they remain in the lurch. He then followed up in a tweet to say that all laid-off workers were offered three months' severance. However, some former employees told CNN in a report published Thursday that Twitter has failed to send them any information about a severance agreement. A representative for Shannon Liss-Riordan, a lawyer who has filed 100 demands for arbitration on behalf of former Twitter employees, told CNN on Thursday that her clients hadn't received any details about severance from Twitter.
A laid-off Twitter manager said he watched most of his team of 150 staff get fired in four hours. The first wave of Twitter layoffs happened on November 4. "Throughout about three to four hours, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., I saw most of my entire team get fired," Shevat said. Twitter sent Shevat an email to his personal account, saying the company had laid him off. According to Shevat, Twitter said he would receive information about the severance package the following week, but the company never sent it to him.
An ex-Twitter manager said being told to ignore his workers' concerns after Musk joined felt "evil." Shevat, who said he looked after 150 staff, told Insider he was laid off with most of his team. "Not only that, we were told as managers not to gather our team and address their questions and concerns. One day, Twitter told Shevat to "stack rank" his team from top to bottom. According to Shevat, Twitter leaders gave managers such as himself no answers about whether they should continue with the work they were doing.
Elon Musk's handling of Twitter's layoffs was "inhumane," an ex-Twitter worker said, per the LA Times. Some Twitter staff found out they'd been laid off when they were locked out of work laptops. Since losing his job, Shevat has filed arbitration claims against Elon Musk with the help of attorney Lisa Bloom, per the LA Times. "The way Elon Musk executed the layoffs was really inhumane," Shevat said in the conference, cited by the LA Times. Thousands of Twitter employees have been laid off, resigned, or fired since Musk took over.
Twitter staffers are expected to receive an email titled "Your Role at Twitter" by 9 a.m. PST on Friday. If their employment is not impacted, they'll receive a note on their Twitter email, per a Musk memo. If their employment is impacted, they will receive a note with next steps via their personal email. Around 3,700 Twitter employees are expected to be hit with Musk's planned layoffs. Another employee wrote on LinkedIn: "Just got remotely logged out of my company laptop and removed from Twitter Slack.
