Craig Simmons, the former human resources director for the Screen Actors Guild –Producers Pension & Health Plans, sued the plans for wrongful termination on Thursday.
Simmons has drummed up a firestorm of controversy with allegations involving fraud and embezzlement at the plans. He has been threatening to sue SAG-PPHP for months.
In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Simmons made good on those threats.
In the filing, Simmons continued to level accusations at SAG-PPHP CEO Bruce Dow, claiming that his former boss covered up embezzlement at the nonprofit and used the plans to reward lucrative contracts to his family members.
