Roger Friedman Wants Millions From The Scientology Lovers At Fox
As we know, Roger Friedman—the writer who got fired by Fox for reviewing an illegally leaked online version of the film Wolverine—is being crazy and suing the company, claiming Scientology conspiracy. Today we learn the amount: $US5.18 million.
That’s damages for “wrongful termination, tortious interference and libel defamation.” All, of course, stemming from the fact that Friedman wrote critical things of those wacky-yet-lovable Scientologists and Fox is in league with their most powerful members, so the whole “Hey you reviewed a film made by the studio you work for that you downloaded illegally so maybe you shouldn’t have this job anymore” thing was just a red herring! A McGuffin meant to distract us from the wicked thetan-clearing hordes that control Hollywood.
Our question: If Friedman is claiming that money as any sort of lost earnings, how the hell much money was he making in the first place?

Ohh lord. This guy never quits. He has everyone to blame but himself. Will he ever grow up? This guy is not even worth $5.18 million. Gawker, give this loud mouth a rest and stop writing post about him.
Roger Friedman is so LAME!

No wonder why Fox has such a hard-on for tort reform. (Zzzzzing!)

Damn, $5.18 million. I guess he learned a thing or two about litigation after obsessively covering MJ for the past decade.
Was it really that difficult to give Wolverine 3 1/2 stars?

It should be said again....don't believe what this man writes. He wouldn't know the truth if Michael Jackson came back from the dead and handed to him on a silver platter.
