After being ousted from his own show for repeated abhorrentย behavior, Jeremy Clarkson is now at the center of aย racial discrimination lawsuit.
The “Top Gear” producer who was verbally and physically attacked byย Clarkson last March is suing the BBC and the former motoring show host for over $150,000 for racial discrimination and personal injury.
Lawyers for Clarkson and the BBC attended a closed-door hearing with Oisin Tymon’s legal team at a London employment tribunal on Friday, BBC News reported.
The lawsuit centers around the alleged attack onย Tymon by Clarkson, duringย which heย spent 20 minutes verbally abusing the producer before launching a 30 second physical assault on him over a lack of hot food on location while filming in North Yorkshire, England.
