The report, which chronicled the prejudice actions the senior vice president of talent and business made against her employees, including many Black employees, highlights when she said the network wasn’t asking Good Morning America host Robin Roberts to “pick cotton.”
Fedida was confused about why the journalist was requesting a pay increase during a contract renewal in 2018.
She said that Roberts had gotten enough from the network, reports HuffPost.
Fedida’s history of insensitive comments has led to more than a dozen human resource complaints against her and has cost the network millions of dollars in settlements with at least one due to alleged racism.
An HR investigation into Fedida was completed in 2016 and resulted in the networking hiring an executive coach for her.
