FAUCI SAYS PANDEMIC EXPOSED ‘UNDENIABLE EFFECTS OF RACISM' IN USThe suit notes that Franklin Templeton did not interview Amy, or the birdwatcher, during its investigation into the incident. Franklin Templeton, a holding company, fired Amy Cooper the day after the Central Park altercation, saying in a statement that it does "not tolerate racism of any kind," the suit states. The suit argues that the statement, which garnered more than 200,000 "likes" on Twitter, helped perpetuate the view that Amy Cooper is a racist. She’s seeking unspecified damages for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence — and racial discrimination.
