Forums - Gaming - Bobby Kottick loses lawsuit... for sexual harrrasment

Naughty hands Kottick????

One of Hollywood's most powerful chief executives has lost a legal battle against one of its toughest attorneys.

The brawl between Bobby Kotick, chief executive of Santa Monica-based video game giant Activision Blizzard Inc., and Patricia Glaser, once described by California Lawyer magazine as "one of the fiercest litigators in Los Angeles,” has its origins in a 2007 sexual harassment lawsuit that ultimately led to an epic dispute.

On the surface, the entire affair sounds like the makings of a bad joke involving a lawyer, a pilot, a flight attendant, a CEO and an investment banker.

At the end of the day, however, the amount of money at stake was no laughing matter.

On July 6, a three-judge panel in the California Court of Appeal sided with Glaser, who alleged that Kotick had stiffed her firm out of more than $1 million in legal fees.

Both these people sound pretty evil. Ruthless lawyer vs greedy ceo.

I didn't read the article, but from what you posted this settlement was about legal fees, not sexual harassment.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
