In case you forgot, Harold Reynolds was fired from ESPN a few months back for “inappropriate hugging”. Apparently, Harold allegedly decided to go buckwild in either a Boston Market or an Outback Steakhouse(where, ironically it’s supposed to be “No Rules, Just Right”) on a production assistant. That is, he gave her a hug – from behind.

Well, following Harold going down in a rather impressive blaze of glory, he’s apparently back for more, as he’s promptly suing ESPN. Never one to shun the limelight, Harold is apparently worried about his high moral character being injured.

The juice details of the lawsuit? I’m glad you asked:

  • Reynolds was making $1 million a year from the network. Jemele Hill, fire your agent!
  • The letter Reynolds received about his firing gave no reasons for the termination.
  • ESPN has yet to give Reynolds a copy of his personnel file even though Connecticut law requires them to.
  • Reynolds is seeking “at least $5 million.”

Well, then.
