Multiple lawsuits have emerged from former executives and officials across various sectors alleging wrongful termination and defamation. Dr. Airica Steed, the former president and CEO of MetroHealth, is suing the hospital system for defamation and breach of employment. The lawsuit follows her termination, which she claims was unjust. In another case, the former Memphis-Shelby County Schools Superintendent has filed a civil action lawsuit against the school board for terminating her contract. Additionally, a former Massachusetts director of Democratic educational advocacy groups alleges she faced retaliatory criticism and was fired after raising concerns about a new CEO's treatment of women. The former Mesquite police chief has also filed a lawsuit against the City of Mesquite, claiming wrongful termination and breach of contract following an internal investigation. Furthermore, the ex-MetroHealth CEO's lawsuit adds to a growing trend of legal actions from former executives, including a lawsuit against Meta by an ex-director who claims a 'toxic pattern of silencing women.' Lastly, the former CEO of the Las Vegas Realtors is suing her former employer and several high-profile real estate agents for wrongful termination and defamation.
