- Jury Orders Madison Square Garden to Pay for Harassment

Posted on Oct 03, 2007

A Manhattan jury has ordered Madison Square Garden and its chairman to pay $11.6 million to a former female executive for creating a hostile work environment and retaliation. The jury’s finding marks the end of lawsuit that accused New York Knicks’ coach Isiah Thomas of making unwanted sexual advances toward the plaintiff and Madison Square Garden of firing her for filing a complaint. The trial judge is expected to rule on an additional $9.6 million in compensatory damages requested by the plaintiff in the coming weeks. Richard Sandomir, The New York Times 10/03/2007
