Just over a week ago, FTVLive told you that Gray’s WNEM had kicked Anchor David Custer to the curb.

Well, it didn’t take long for Custer to lawyer up.

Custer has filed a lawsuit against the news station he worked at for the past 11 years.

Custer claims, he was let go after giving truthful but unflattering statements about the station’s inner workings during a probe by its Human Resources Division.

(Footnote: I have said this before, but never trust the station’s Human Resources. They work for the station and report to the General Manager. On paper, it sounds like HR is in your court, but they are anything but.)

Custer through Flint attorney Tom R. Pabst filed suit in Genesee County Circuit Court, naming WNEM, Gray Media Group, General Manager Kenneth Frierson Jr., and News Director Jayne Hodak Soboleski as defendants. Custer is requesting a judgment of $100,000 plus attorney costs and interest.

Seems a bit low, but okay.
