The 2020 offseason has been a terrible one for the Washington Football Team.
The most recent issue has now surfaced that involves team owner Daniel Snyder and former executive assistant Mary-Ellen Blair, who worked in the front office from 2013-2017.
John Keim of ESPN.com reported that a filing this past Monday in federal court contains the assertion that Blair received money to help spread damaging information about Snyder, and that she “directly offered or alluded to the availability of bribes to current employees” of the team in order to elicit false information.
Snyder claims that the same persons who “hired and directed” meaww.com to publish defamatory articles about him were the ones whispering to Blair’s ear.
On Friday, Snyder had filed a defamation case against Media Entertainment Arts WorldWide over what it said would be included about him in an upcoming Washington Post story. Before that story was even released, the meaww.com news site reported that Snyder was allegedly involved in sex trafficking, tying him to Jeffrey Epstein. Snyder is seeking $10 million in damages from the media company.
Snyder is now targeting Blair, who was terminated after a demotion and left the football organization on bad terms, according to the filing.
