Deborah Dugan filed new documents Tuesday in her case against the Recording Academy in which she offered up new evidence of her claim that the Grammy nomination process was “rigged.”
In her filing, which includes a supplemental charge of discrimination following her firing on Monday, Dugan includes an email sent by long-time Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich to herself and interim CEO Harvey Mason Jr. She says the email was an attempt by Ehrlich “to press the Academy into nominating a song by a particular superstar in order to increase his ability to convince the superstar to perform at the Grammys.”
