Looks like losing his job wasn’t the only consequence of Jeremy Clarkson's temper.
Oisin Tymon, the BBC producer who was assaulted by Clarkson in a March incident that ultimately led to Clarkson’s firing from the network, is suing both Clarkson and the BBC for racial discrimination, reported the BBC.
Clarkson, who was suspended following the incident and was later told that he wouldn’t be brought back to host another season of the internationally famed car show Top Gear along with Richard Hammond and James May, had always been somewhat of a volatile and controversial figure.
Clarkson had previously gotten in trouble for being caught on video mumbling the n-word while singing “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.”
Tymon, who had originally said that he wouldn’t be pressing charges at the time of the attack, evidently changed his mind, as law firm Slater and Gordon confirmed on Friday that the producer had been in contact.
Following the assault, Tymon had reportedly suffered lip swelling and bleeding and had to drive himself to the hospital.
In response to the suit, the BBC has released a statement, saying, “We will be responding to this claim, but will not be commenting further at this time.”
Meanwhile, since being fired by the BBC, Clarkson appears to be doing well for himself, as he has a new show lined up for Amazon Prime next year. And yes, his long-time Top Gear hosts Richard Hammond and James May will be joining him.
