Andrews alleges that Stokes was so popular with TWC viewers that the management looked the other way, even when he would put her down on air." A few procedural thoughts: Why didn't Ms. Andrews join TWC as a co-defendant; to keep her job? Was there any argument to suggest that TWC was a necessary party? The index number is dated 2007; assuming the SOL hasn't run, and that collateral estoppel & res judicata do not apply, I wonder if her attorneys will file suit against TWC to ensure they don't retaliate after the SOL runs. “Key to the complaint was the alleged toleration of the abuse by TWC.
