Former Apple Lawyer Sues After Being Fired for Complaining About Death Threats

A former lawyer at Apple is accusing the tech giant of doing little to protect her from a male colleague who she says sent her death threats, including a video of him with a “Glock to his head.”  

The lawyer, Jayna Richardson Whitt, alleged that Apple instead demoted her after she took on a part-time role, and eventually fired her after she’d repeatedly complained about domestic abuse by the colleague, while separately also raising concerns about being generally sidelined at work, according to her lawsuit filed this month in California state court.   

Whitt alleged that the male colleague, whom she didn’t name in the suit but said she’d had a “personal relationship” with, had inflicted “extreme domestic abuse” on her, and likely hacked her iPhone, according to the suit.
