G/O Media Releases Statement Following Jarrard Withdrawing Claims in Jarrard v. G/O Media Lawsuit


NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nadine Jarrard, G/O Media's former Vice President West Coast Sales, has withdrawn her claims against the company after the evidence presented in the litigation showed she was compensated fairly.  G/O Media has released the following statement:

"Nadine Jarrard, G/O Media's former Vice President West Coast Sales, has withdrawn her claims against the company after the evidence presented in the litigation showed she was compensated fairly. Ms. Jarrard resigned from G/O Media in September 2019 following a reorganization of the management team after the company's acquisition from Univision. She has withdrawn her claims against G/O Media following months of litigation in which the company has shown that Ms. Jarrard was encouraged to stay with G/O Media, that the company compensated her fairly, and that the company has a proven commitment to diversity - evidenced, among other things, by the fact that 69% of new hires in the year since her resignation have been diverse hires. G/O wishes Ms. Jarrard well with her future endeavors."
