Jaggernauth, a freelancer who is Guyanese and Jamaican, claims white colleagues were allowed to advance in the company while she wasn’t — a situation that was detrimental to her health.“I almost died doing what I loved because a freelancer can’t say no,” Jaggernauth told the CBC in an exclusive interview. “Every hour is bread, every hour is rent, every hour is that tank of gas.”

Jaggernauth claims Bell has “a systemic pattern” of racism, sexism and discrimination, and in her case she was “treated as a token and a commodity.”Article content

Always safe with the race card. 🙄🤔

Abusers? What's new?

Freelancing for 11 years? Lol after 2 years if you not full time you know they dont want you

Keep it up ladies and soon only men will be hired? I’m already seeing more men than women.

If you are non white and nothing goes your way Play the race card Her husband is white 😂😂😂😂

Look there is the band wagon…

Sorry she was horrible at her job. Period. Too bad she can't recognize this and improve on it. Rather play the race card.

Glad she's gone

She was at here job for 11 years and quit. Then filed the complaint.

TV personalities involve the intangible, media companies have a right to put who ever they want on the air.

There’s certainly something going on at Bell media when it comes to women, however since when do freelancers get work promotions? A freelancer is not an employee. She says she was a freelancer for 11 years!

Annoying. Childish. And now a ‘victim’. Just go away.

Isn’t a freelancer like a temp job? Asking cuz I don’t know

Whiners are up early today.

Geezus someone who was never good at their job tries to get something more out of being fired. When’s this garbage going to stop. She was never that good. Quite annoying actually. I hope this backfires on her and she get blackballed from Tv.

Playing the victim again?! It must be exhausting.

Me too. In the sense I want to use this to my career advancement

Poor thing. I'm going to miss seeing her on that channel discussing the weather. 😕

May as well cash in before the train comes to a stop. I hope society wakes up and stops giving these gold diggers the time of day

Bell Media has no business broaching the subject of mental health ie “Let’s Talk” when it treats its own employees like garbage!

I hope she has proof and is not just trying to further her career with false allegations that never lead to anything

Complaint alleges discrimination at Bell MediaA long-time media personality has filed a human rights complaint against Bell Media alleging racism and sexism in the workplace. Yeah and all complaints are ignored once they've invested, looks like Bell Media wants to get rid of all female employees. Is anyone surprised that this is the company that proudly promotes and employs Victoria’s 1 cyber bully and CFAX darling Adam Stirling, ignoring hundreds of community complaints Sorry but this lady deliberately dressed and posed for the cameras in a sexual and seductive way .
