White Men Learn the Hidden Cost of Suing for Discrimination - Bloomberg Businessweek



Feb 19, 2026 Bloomberg Businessweek
Jeff Vaughn, a former CBS anchor, says a 2022 billboard convinced him that being White and male was becoming a liability, and he sued CBS in 2024 after being fired in 2023. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is urging White men to come forward with complaints about their treatment by employers looking to diversify their workforces, with EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas saying that anti-discrimination laws apply equally to everyone.
Jeff Green, Bloomberg News Managing Diversity Reporter, writes how white men who sue their employers over perceived discrimination may face career damage, with experts saying that bringing a lawsuit can make it difficult to find a new job, as potential employers can discover the lawsuit with a basic Google search.


Technically, Vaughn was not with national CBS but rather with their LA-owned independent station KCAL 9.

Also, this wasn't the first time he was cut from a TV station; a previous station in San Antonio cited a vague "personnel matter" (code for performance or conduct issue). So these types of lawsuits are usually settlement chases based on cherry-picking details.
