Following up on my earlier post, Former TapouT Employee's Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Set for Trial in January - Claims Against Kreiner Dismissed, according to the Beverley Hills Courier, the former employee, Michelle Thomas "was today awarded $2.4 million in punitive damages by a Los Angeles Superior Court jury."
According to the article, "[t]he panel deliberated for about a half-hour before finding in favor of Michelle Thomas in her wrongful termination case. The same panel on Monday awarded her $840,000 in compensatory damages, bringing her total award to more than $3.2 million."
Consistent with the allegations in the complaint, the article provides that Thomas testified "that employees were told to pay out of their own pocket for any television subscriptions needed to view the company's show on the Versus cable network, called 'TapouT,' as well as pay-per-view Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts."
