[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like Tynes is suing the publisher for defamation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2019/06/08/an-author-lost-her-book-deal-after-tweeting-about-metro-worker-shes-suing-million/?utm_term=.c12bd51f6c75[/quote] Good for her[/quote] +1 [/quote] +2. [/quote] +1 again. She will win, too. There was nothing racist about her tweet.[/quote] She won't win. All publishers contracts come with morality clauses which covers basically anything that would get a public figure in trouble. She signed it and so they had the right to terminate her when broken. The question is can the publisher counter-sue and demand her advance back. They usually pay out on acceptance of a book and delivery...but without it being published there's a grey area.[/quote]
