Former CBS Anchor Jeff Vaughn Files $5M Lawsuit Alleging Discrimination

Vaughn claims he was replaced due to CBS's diversity policies, sparking debate over DEI initiatives.

Jeff Vaughn, an Emmy Award-winning anchor, alleges he was fired for being an older, white, heterosexual male.
The lawsuit claims CBS prioritized diversity hires, leading to Vaughn's replacement by a younger, Black anchor.
America First Legal, a conservative group, is representing Vaughn in the federal court case.
Vaughn's suit follows similar complaints against CBS regarding its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
CBS has not commented on the lawsuit, which seeks $5 million in damages and reinstatement of Vaughn's position.
