New York, NY: Kimberly Osorio was unlawfully retaliated against after she filed a gender discrimination complaint with the Source's Vice President of Human Resources. The former Editor-in-Chief filed a lawsuit against the Source after she was then wrongfully terminated. The case was filed in Manhattan Federal Court before United States District Judge Jed Rakoff. The jury found the Source liable for retaliation and also found founders David Mays and Raymond "Benzino" Scott liable. Scott was also held liable for defamation arising out of defamatory statements he made about Osorio during an interview following her termination. In addition to the multi-million dollar verdict, the jury also found Osorio was entitled to punitive damages for her unlawful termination. Reports indicate Mays and Scott were ordered to pay $14.5 million to Osorio. (Oct-24-06)
