He doesn't deserve your sympathy. People remember that Ghomeshi was acquitted of sexual assault, but people forget that he treated female employees at CBC like garbage.

CBC's inquiry into how their management handled complaints about Ghomeshi resulted in 2 managers being fired.

Bad publicity from the criminal charges was the catalyst that led to the rest of this stuff becoming public. 

He deserved to be fired for the way he treated other employees.

The only reason he didn't get fired sooner was that the network brass thought that he was their star, and felt that the women who he abused were expendable if it kept him happy.

He's a goon who bullied and degraded women because he knew that he could get away with it.

Well kimmy, if you have an interest in discussing the issue then I'll start by feeling you out to see if you intend to stay rational about it. So I'll just start with the suggestion that Khomeshi was cleared of any possible crimes. And that the CBC got rid of him because of the negative appearance of him being a celebrity and being allowed to continue with CBC.

Do you know if Ghomeshi brought any lawsuits against the CBC? Or was CBC immune to a lawsuit because of the contract with Ghomeshi?
And of course the hot question is on whether any of the women involved were into S&M?
