This. Could. Go. All. The. Way.
ESPN legend Chris Berman, known for his bombastic football calls, is just one of the boldfaced names that appears in an explosive and far-reaching sexual harassment suit filed against the network in Connecticut district court Sunday by a former employee.
Berman, 62, is accused of leaving a “racially disparaging” voicemail for Jemele Hill two years ago, one of many examples used to paint a picture of a hostile workplace that existed at ESPN for women. Berman has not responded to the allegations but Hill issued a statement on Twitter Monday night calling the way the “conflict” has been portrayed “dangerously inaccurate.”
Hill acknowledged having a “personal conflict” with Berman “a few years ago” but denied Berman left any racially disparaging remarks on her voicemail.
