Bill Simmons Media Group Parts Ways With Eric Weinberger

The Bill Simmons Media Group said it “mutually agreed” to part ways with President ERIC WEINBERGER two weeks ago, according to Kevin Draper of the N.Y. TIMES. The announcement comes three months after Weinberger "was suspended and placed on indefinite leave following the filing of a lawsuit by a former NFL Network wardrobe stylist that claimed Weinberger had groped her and sent her lewd text messages, including nude pictures of himself." Weinberger "left the league-owned media company" in '15 to join BILL SIMMONS' group. When announcing Weinberger’s suspension in December, a Bill Simmons Media Group spokesperson said the company was conducting an “internal investigation” of his behavior. The spokesperson declined to comment yesterday on "whether the investigation had been completed, or what it found" (NYTIMES.com, 3/20).
