After she was fired in March, Bell told the Associated Press she didn’t get a “fair shake” from the station. Seven days after that, on the same day as a meeting between the station management and the Pittsburgh Black Media Federation, the TV station fired her. The Wilkinsburg mass slaying case that inspired the controversial Facebook post has yet to be solved. Cordes, Bell’s attorney, told the Post-Gazette on Monday that he plans to add a gender discrimination claim to the lawsuit once he receives the okay from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Two days later, the anchor removed the Facebook post and apologized.
