Activision Blizzard sues California department that filed 2021 sexual misconduct lawsuit

Activision Blizzard has fired back at the state of California with a lawsuit aimed at the state’s Civil Rights Department, accusing the department’s investigators of withholding information regarding their contacts with other media outlets and labor unions, in relation to the California department’s 2021 sexual misconduct and pay discrimination lawsuit against the company.

The latest lawsuit was filed by lawyer Christopher Skinnell on behalf of Activision Blizzard, according to an Axios report. In the lawsuit, Skinnell alleges that the California CRD “deliberately unleashed a hurricane of hostile media coverage against the Company based on malicious and knowingly false assertions” and “orchestrated a comprehensive media campaign in an attempt to bullrush the Company into settling its lawsuit.”
