ESPN took an unusual step Thursday night in publishing a series of text messages between "SportsCenter" anchor John Buccigross and former anchor candidate Adrienne Lawrence, who is pursuing a harassment action against the network.
The network said it released the texts to show Buccigross and Lawrence had developed a consensual friendship and that no harassment took place, contrary to what Lawrence is claiming. Lawrence's case is covered by The Boston Globe in an article that also depicts the network as being extremely hostile toward female employees.
Buccigross told the Globe he "considered Adrienne to be a friend" and that he was sorry "if anything I did or said offended Adrienne. It certainly wasn’t my intent.”
......The case is on track to become a federal lawsuit........
Possible revenge harassment lawsuit for a pump and dump?
