Just recently, Rudy Giuliani finds himself in the middle of another controversy: losing his radio gig and facing a new lawsuit. This has been a tough week for Giuliani. It follows on the heels of a staggering jury verdict, which ordered him to pay $148 million in damages to Atlanta poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss for defamation.
Giuliani found himself losing his speaking platform at WABC in New York mid-rant, as producers tried to avoid having him spread false information about the 2020 election, violating the station’s policy. Station owner John Catsimatidis explained the decision to the New York Times.
Giuliani, however, did not take his dismissal lying down, launching his show “Uncovering the Truth” on platforms such as Rumble, X, Twitch, and YouTube. He has also reacted strongly on social media, implying the incident is a direct attack on his free speech rights.
It comes as no surprise that Giuliani has not been silent about his dismissal. He has been vocal about his accusation of Catsimatidis and John Poulos, Dominion’s owner, colluding because of their shared connection with a Greek Orthodox priest, something Catsimatidis denies in a New York Post interview.
On the legal front, Giuliani continues to face challenges. His bankruptcy proceeding indicates an erratic approach, with filings showing discrepancies between submitted bank statements and his monthly budget. Freeman and Moss also filed a complaint for injunctive relief, aiming to halt his continued defamation of them and false statements about the election.
As this story unfolds, Catsimatidis stands firm in his decision, and accountability for some of the biggest names in the industry continues to be a centrally debated topic in the legal fraternity.
