A former CBS46 meteorologist filed a lawsuit against his former employer accusing former co-anchor Sharon Reed of making racist and sexist statements while on the air.
In court documents Paul Ossmann claims he was subjected to racist and ageist statements by African American co-anchor, Sharon Reed, and/or Thomas Roberts, a Caucasian co-anchor, age 46.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Atlanta on July 12. Ossmann accused his former employer of fostering a “racially hostile work environment.”
Ossmann’s attorney states Reed referred to Mr. Ossmann as a “white dog” and “a POS” or “piece of shit” while on the air.
“These comments went viral and caused Plaintiff significant humiliation, pain and suffering. This created a hostile work environment for Mr. Ossmann at [CBS46], especially when Meredith took no action against Reed and/or Thomas Roberts, his co-anchors.
Further, Reed in response to a viewer complaint of Reed’s race baiting, used the word ‘nigger’ on the air, during a broadcast, in violation of multiple [CBS46] policies and her contract. Reed’s use of the word ‘nigger’ was broadcast to hundreds of thousands of viewers in the Atlanta.”
Ossmann, 62, was employed at CBS46 first as meteorologist and then as chief meteorologist, after his promotion, according to court documents.
Ossmann was suspended in April of this year for allegedly making an inappropriate comment to a co-worker.
On April 8, 2018, Ossmann was terminated by Vice President and General Manager of CBS46, Lyle Banks, who is Black.
Ossmann had two years left on his contract when he was fired. Reed no longer works at the station.
I’m just here for the comments. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5ac46b92037aac4189cb2d1f0b0528ddf8c6e46e278fed574066584644df6c22.jpg
GOOD FOR HIM.
Ooooohhhhhh what to do when the tables turn….. ???

This is going to go left real quick so I am outta here! Adios bat-shit-crazies!!
Chile a lie don’t care who tells it
Quite sure he was the one making sexual vulgar comments to Reed, in which she responded “u white dog piece of shit”..The end
He looks like he has a few drops of sub-Saharan in him so he had me fooled. https://media0.giphy.com/media/ijGd9xtfKvcRO/giphy.gif
Sharon Reed went from wearing instagram specials looking like a lady of the night up here in Cleveland to stirring up sh!t in ATL. Y’all can keep her.
You had me at “white dog” which is making the immature side of my brain LAUGH.
You had me at “white dog” which is making the immature side of my brain LAUGH.
Me too
Me too
Yeah, it ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun.
I need more info before I can decide how I feel about all of this. Whole thang just reeks of messiness tho ?????
I don’t care about this but just came back to say maybe he was doing one of ’em. Hope not.
https://media1.giphy.com/media/1AiMTUs45qGcVWnFzT/giphy.gif
Yea that fvcking lol
Don’t forget The Lebron “ hush money “ baby accusations.
Lmaoo well white people are definitely animals, so I don’t see the big deal. I would love to throw them all in a rocket and launch them up in the air …. then turn around and go straight down to the pits of hell. Black peoples can’t be racist. Hope they throw this BS case out.
???
White folks want to be oppressed so bad. ??
Ohh, I do recall the Lebron accusation. I guess he has a type because she looks a lot like Savannah.
So so bad. FOH.
Yeah drama and controversy seems to follow her.
Ain’t she the one accused of fukking on a very married LeBron James? I got her mixed up or naw?
Exactly like Savanna
Nah yew got the right one….don’t forget about the baby
WHAT?ok then
Ava. She cute.
Reed no longer works at the station.
^^^^^^
Sorry. I done seen too many news anchors get fired. I think she got fired. I dont think she ¨just didnt get contract renewed¨. I dont follow her. Bc I only follow my local news folks or folks with NC news ties. Nicole Carr where YA AT girl!!! Anyways… my spidey and news senses say she was sent on her way. He was too. Somewhere is some kinda truth. BUT I dont think she was dumb enough to be fooling with whitey mayo up top far as harassment or anything. She went to Georgetown. She SMART. Imma have to look into some shit
They biting back now. ???
The baby is by a white guy
White guy, the owner of XO’s in Cleveland, where I’m @
Who was that that said white people are also people of color. He looked pink to me.
Cute like Savannah…?LeBron may have a type.
I remember that.
Grasping at straws since his career is over. I wonder what was the comment he made that got him suspended/fired? Don’t remember him but I don’t watch local news anyway, haven’t for years.
? yea ok….
Well ain’t that the truth..smh.
What’s XO’s? A club or something?
Where is said video? Lol I want to see her call him a white dog/POS. Like the white folks say, “I need more information”.
I heard that she has a son that’s the alleged child by Lebron….she doesn’t show him on social media … the boy is much younger than the daughter
XO is a “fine dining” restaurant
Not true the daughter is about the age of lebron’s daughter about 5ish, there’s no younger son after that little girl, she also addressed that situation and showed pictures of her daughter, the guy that own XO’s, her daughter look just like him
A very high in restaurant downtown Cleveland, very popular as well, Lebron and other athletes hang in there
Black people can certainly be racists. Any time you have disparaging thoughts or make disparaging comments about a whole race of people, that is BEING RACIST. You obviously have disdain for the what race, and that friend is racist.
the lil girl,Ava looks nothing like Bron or suri and yeah she looks like she can be mixed
He’s one of “driest” weathermen I’ve seen round these parts.
So true! lol
https://media1.giphy.com/media/fGuqeA6PiXINa/giphy.gif
You are correct. And the lil girl looks just like him..the exact same head shape…saw her at Marshall’s several years ago.
Auntie can we get a post about Lauren London filing to establish guardianship of her son and why she had to do that? For her son to inherit 1 million from Nipsey death
You obviously can’t read. Whites are not humans. They’re animals. And I said what I said. Black people cannot be racist. We don’t have that type of power because in 2019 we are still being oppressed in many ways, shapes, and forms. But that’s okay. The natural order will be restored one of these days. We all know who ran sh*t before those THIEVING animals came along. So eat my entire, gorgeous ass. K? Thankkkkksssss! ?
Thanks
Thank you for proving my point dummy. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/773723a8a0c8ec0524952f934b027efb4045207a5f677ca8d60aeb63840ce841.jpg
Ok, cool
Meanwhile ? Off-Topix….What is going on at Morehouse ? I thought the code was never to bring public drama on the school.
https://heavy.com/news/2019/07/demarcus-crews/
“Cassandra Rose” is director of the college website” ??????
Something doesn’t sound right. Seriously, this is GA. There is no way that a Black woman called him a white dog, and POS on air, and the batshyt confederate flag mafia didn’t go crazy.
Damn you’re a nasty human.
That’s just gross to say
Legal purposes. She has to stake his claim in the estate.
Good Luck with Karma.
??
She’s a sad angry woman. Poor thing
Estate closing. Its normal.
? No relation??
I’ll drank her bathwater along with a shampoo cocktail.She too dam beautiful!!!
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo
looool.I really love your insight my beautiful black queen!!
Maybe he was thinking along the lines of pink is a colour? ?????
Goes to google this tea I ain’t never heard before.
lOL,did she lie.The sun hates them The Most HiGH called them an abomination in meaning they’re not THE MOST HIG’S creation–spiritual warfare between The MOST High,the ancestors and the devil and the devil’s manifested supernatural beings.
Ohhh ok
I don’t understand though she his legal guardian so why is that necessary? Certain laws just crazy as hell
Where’s the viral videos… I wanna see those
She might bottle it for you for a $35 fee…
It’s not a matter of her being his legal parent, or having custody. It’s just to stake her claim in the estate. He is an heir, and he’s a minor. She has to establish the fact that she is his guardian, so that he can get what it rightfully due to him. Probate laws are not even remotely close to anything that would have to deal with custody, etc.
Prejudice not racist
Get them wet and that’s what they smell like sooooo ?
Instagram specials ???
What could one white person say to another white person that would be racist?
Why didn’t he say anything before he was fired for making inappropriate comments to another co-worker.
As a parent she has guardianship of his person… not necessarily guardianship of his estate (finances).
Mike Kelly of PA, said he’s a POC cause he’s Irish. Somebody texted me that a hour ago
the same reason why those women didn’t when Bill Cosby and others were drugging and raping them.
I need more information.
plus 9.95 shipping and handling!
yes they have a break baby only Savanna didn’t know they was breaking shitt.
CAC
I’m black. There’s nothing nasty about black people And I said what I said. What are you gonna do about it ugly ?
I AM Karma. Try again
That’s not how it works. An employer can be liable for a hostile work environment to a white employee where the employer permits other white employees to make jokes about black people.
That’s a damn shame can’t even send your kids to school because of some people.
Thank you !!!!!
Damn that’s crazy
Black people can’t be racist, but white people are definitely animals?
??
If his people are from the South, that’s a possibility.
She looks like Ciara/Cynthia Bailey ( a mixture of both)
It’s wise to learn to ignore certain peoples comments. It’s good for one’s blood preßure.
guhl, my whole house is sleep while I’m still sipping on wine… husband, two year old, and 13 year old. I have no idea if Lebron had a break baby and I’m glad Savannah is a confident women not worried about my drunk ass. Can someone confirm or deny my drunken blog comment?
He looks eerily like Colin Powell.
because it never happened?
i have no idea because i wasn’t there.
uhm this has many layers. and i couldn’t quite gather what the end game for thee accusers was/is. criminal charges or’a monetary compensation from said college
Affirmative Action STUPIDITY in action…
Blacks are the most RACIST people on the planet. Tribal RACIST…
We can’t be racist????? That crakka better move on
Yep.
Discriminators and prejudice but not racists. Racism is prejudice + power. Blacks are minorities and yield no power to inflict their prejudices onto society. White ppl are also prejudicial and discriminatory, but they are the majority and yield power to enforce their discrimination into society
Sounds about yt
Yessssss…forgot about this!
Kanye shrug.
Yes…I heard this rumor! I knew that name sounded familiar..can’t remember what site it was on..,but it was definitely rumored to be true! LeBron must be handling his business and Savannah is a trooper…
I don’t believe him
Lolooo
Didn’t really care for Sharon Reed when she was anchoring in CLE. Her personality was off-putting but I don’t think she would do such a thing on air. Js ?????
Thirty year’s no complaints, while working for top local stations. Go over to the generic stations, and the side effects are much worse!
Where is the video?
White women are the number one beneficiaries of Affirmative Action.
Seems it’s suddenly become popular to be a snowflake, cuz the YTs been whining their a**es off.
Ikr. If she did it on air there should be plenty of video. ?????
wow the other way around. this will be interesting.
He looks like a tad of black can be in him.
Exactly!
I’m not buying it. Besides, where is the video of her saying these things on air?
paul used to be my boo back in the day. ain’t that lebron alleged baby mama?
a dog running around with no leash and he bit the wrong one.
the end game was seemingly for him to be fired but it looked like he went on and resigned.
so basically, she is putting her son on the books for inheritance purposes? damn, we gotta learn estate law now. thanks nip!
exhausting.
that baby look like she is from a YT man although she did look like bron when she was little. i heard it was from some coach or something in the league. i notice she never showed a pic or talked about the dad so i think she was riding the lebron rumor train. i heard everybody in cleveland believes its bron’s though.
it was cray in cleveland. she was kinda forced to resign from the tv station there. when she came to atlanta, ryan cameron asked her about it and she was coy with her answer. i haven’t seen the little girl in a while but she kinda came off as being from a white guy to me.
I dont know about the name calling on air, but I distinctly remember her saying the “N” word on air, when addressing a viewer who referred to her as that in an email or something.
*continues to eat my oatmeal with strawberries and brown sugar*
I want to see and hear the tapes. Roll the tapes!
I tried to follow this story, but either I put too my coffee in the pot this morning and my eyes are moving too fast to blink with God… or there isn’t enough meat in this story. All the scrolling back and forth to see, “wait… which one is Reed again – the black lady, or the white man…?” was too much scrolling, so y’all let me know the out come, hear?
Wayment! Reed DID say the n-word on the air and here’s why. She was responding to a racist email she received. She READ the contents of the email on the air…. she commented on the email, stated she will continue to report the news…..and moved on.. She garnered local praise for putting it out there. What’s really going on? https://media3.giphy.com/media/MmCXbxE9Hg1mo/giphy.gif

Ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one. I finally said forget it cause it was too much going on for me to keep up with while trying to work. LOL
I agree. My MIL passed 2 years ago, and we are FINALLY about to reconcile everything within the next month. Most of the delay was due to his sister doing some seriously crazy stuff, and them having to sue her though.
Lol. I didn’t notice either one was gone.
lol I had to do a double take too, I was getting a little lost Reed is the woman.
White are way more tribal than blacks. Look at the composition of the Republican party.
Go back and read.
It said that Ossmann was subjected to racist and ageist comments from and/or the white anchor.
I guess they meant ageist comments.
Because accusing a celebrity will bring you a lot of hate and heartache.
The same reason that the friend of Jean Carroll told her not to go to the police.
Omg hit dogs will holler. This is her belief and trying to insult her only proves her point.
same shit in my family. had to sue one of the siblings. i think most of them reconciled with her but she did some dirty shit. i’m just a spouse and i ain’t really forgive her for what she did.
Fired by a black man. I know from experience he is REAL salty about that. Most of the time they will try to sue. But almost never succeed cause HR has the receipts, LOL
I thought I was alone…I was like “Crickets” What?
I won’t EVERRRRRR speak to her again. She was really grimy. She literally falsified documents and put my MIL’s house in her name, even though their mom had a WILL stating it needed to be sold. She won’t show up to court anymore, because the probate judge told her that they were going to arrest her.
Good grief what did I just read. Gave me vertigo ?
omg!
Didn’t she have secret baby with LeBron?
He tried to holla she rejected the white dog POS now he mad mad because he had only 2 years left before they fired him….booohooo
Wyt man mad he got fired and drumming up BS cause he only had 2yrs left on his contract…
Jesus- the Black Mississippi politician who went to his estranged wife’s job and killed her….. what the hell is going on in this world.
LMAO damn not a white dog ? ?
runs to find article…is this hot off press…
I knew she looked familiar. When I first saw her on the news…I didn’t know what to think because she had strong black girl antics. LOL. This should be interesting.
Ossman sound like he was problems…
That’s Don Lemons BFF, I remember them from way back when they was in Philly, when he used to carry around a little dog in a bag before it was the thing to do, they was always together.
Right… Can’t forget that!
Yesterday I believe
You know that part made him salty AF!! HR is no joke, they do have the receipts???
LolSharon was never afraid to speak her mind regarding topics reported on the time segment that she was on air. Personally I thought she was not only beautiful BUT unapologetic tactful with her thoughts and def was worth watching. Even when ole girl died from a massive stroke (and was a recovering alcoholic) Sharon was like, “ there are many fake people who are news anchors calling her OUR friend but they really weren’t.”
This guy SUCKED as a meteorologist!!!
This is a $$$ grab!
Lmao…
I laughed too! White dog?
According toThomas Roberts, the anchor Sharon Reed was trading notes with, Reed referred to him as a “white dog” and a “POS.” Roberts claims POS was short for Paul Ossmann, but he didn’t explain the “white dog” reference. Maybe this is behind Reed’s departure.
sounds right up my alley
They were READY for his azz LOL
Awesome!!???
Sharon pass LeBron my home number, thanks.
You are on point
?????????
Right she didn’t call him a wet one ? find the positive right lol
Ahhhh ok rich ppl problems I guess
LMBO ????? I meannn it could’ve been worst ?
LOL white sheep dog or some chit ????
** rolling my eyes **
Yes – there was a clear reason why she used that word on air and Assman or Ossman know why. Now he pretending like he forgot why
I live here and I got the sense she was let go as well. There was clearly tension between her and her co-anchor in her last few days on-air
It’s going both ways.
