Former Air America morning show host Lizz Winstead is suing the network, claiming she was fired, then stiffed out of nearly $300,000, according to the New York Post.
Winstead claims that she’s owed $200,000 of her $250,00 annual salary, plus $83,333 in severance pay, $14,423.08 in unused vacation time and $5,960.55 that she says the network pocketed from her on-air ads for the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.
Winstead was fired by Air America on March 4, according to the paper. The show she co-hosted with Rachel Maddow and Chuck D, “Unfiltered,” remained on-air until March 31.
