Sony Faces Discrimination Allegations from Former 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune' Executives

Two former executives allege racial, gender, and age discrimination and retaliation by Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Shelley Ballance Ellis and Monique Diaz, former executives on 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune,' filed discrimination complaints with California's Civil Rights Department and the National Labor Relations Board.
The complaints allege that Sony terminated them in retaliation for opposing discrimination and toxic working conditions.
Ballance Ellis, a Black woman, and Diaz, a Latina, claim they faced significant pay inequities and racially insensitive behavior during their tenure.
Both executives allege that their terminations were part of a broader pattern of replacing diverse staff with younger white employees.
Sony denies the allegations, stating that the terminations were part of a reorganization to address redundancies and evolving business needs.
