Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill is again being sued by a former employee. This time it's his former personal assistant, Brittany Neuheisel, who has filed a wrongful discharge lawsuit against Bidwill and the team. Neuheisel claims she 'was continuously tormented for failing to disavow members of her own family and for refusing to participate in illegal conduct,' according to the filing. Bidwill 'unmercifully harassed Plaintiff in an effort to drive her to leave the Cardinals,' the filing continued, adding that he once demanded she ship him a gun through FedEx, while directing her to ignore any firearm restrictions.
He is also accused of telling Neuheisel, a grandmother, he wanted to replace her with someone who is 'Young, beautiful, and athletic.'. A year ago, Bidwill was sued by former Cardinals personnel executive Terry McDonough over wrongful discharge claims. McDonough ultimately won $3 million in arbitration after the team admitted a critical press release about the outgoing executive 'went too far' in condemning him.
Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill is again being sued by a former employee. For six years, Neuheisel worked for Bidwell until she resigned last month. She says Bidwill constantly put her in the middle of his 'petty battles' with family members. In one alleged incident, Neuheisel was told by Bidwill to clean out his niece's car, which he'd gifted to her, so that it could be repossessed and sold. Neuheisel claims Bidwill told her to record the video of the car being loaded into a flatbed tow truck so that it he could play the clip for his niece.
