As reported by The Nashville Business Journal, longtime news anchor Demetria Kalodimos announced Wednesday that she has settled her lawsuit with her former employer, WSMV Channel 4, an NBC-affiliated television station in Nashville, Tennessee. The lawsuit against WSMV and the station’s owner, Meredith Corp., accused the media companies of gender and age discrimination as well as breach of contract, among other claims.
As the NBJ noted, “Lawyers representing Kalodimos at the firm Leiff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein issued a press release saying that the parties ‘resolved all disputes related to her departure from the station in 2017.’ Lawyers said the resolution was reached ‘following a mutually sought private mediation.’”
