DeWayne Walker, an Atlanta-based employee at CNN for 16 years, said he was verbally threatened with his life by a superior because of a race discrimination lawsuit he filed earlier this year. Walker, in a new lawsuit filed last month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Walker said he ran into his boss Whit Friese, vice president and group creative director, in a restroom on August 15, 2019 at CNN Center.
Friese allegedly told Walker, “Just drop it.” Friese was supposedly referencing the lawsuit Walker filed in May.
Friese added, “If you f***with my money, I will kill you.”
