The New York Post reports that Rudy Giuliani — who previously hosted a daily show at Red Apple Media’s WABC, New York — is suing the station and owner John Catsimatidis over his exit from WABC. Catsimatidis tells
the Post that he’s “been left with ‘tears in my eyes’ amid a bitter feud with his longtime ‘brother’ Rudy Giuliani — which escalated when the former mayor filed suit against him Monday.” He tells the Post, “I’m very, very disappointed in my friend right now… I always supported him during his tough times.” Giuliani alleges in his suit that he was fired for going to bat for his co-host Dr. Maria Ryan for what he alleged was WABC’s wage-based sex discrimination against her. Ryan is also suing the station for wage-based sex discrimination. Meanwhile, regarding Giuliani, Catsimatidis tells the Post, “We didn’t fire him — we suspended him pending a cooling-off period, Friday to Monday. He just didn’t come back.” See the Post story here.
