The nonstop drama and tension surrounding Activision Blizzard have once again reached a higher pitch. A new report from Bloomberg claims that the chief council for the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), Janette Wipper, was fired by state governor Gavin Newsom after the attorney pushed back against Newsom's alleged attempts to interfere with the case.
The report states that the assistant chief council for DFEH, Melanie Proctor, resigned in protest following Wipper's ouster. The lawsuit that the agency filed, which claims that Activision perpetuated a company culture that resulted in widespread sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior, is currently pending in California courts. Given that Wipper and Proctor were the two leading attorneys on the case, it's unclear how exactly this will impact it.
