>How is it possible to terminate a guy in the US with unproven allegations? The allegations of that specific lawsuit may be unproven but the previous "settlement" of $40m "hush money" that's attached as an exhibit to the end of the lawsuit (see the scribd link) appears to be factual and not a forgery of MG's signature. Since many reasonable employers wouldn't hire someone with such a settlement made public, it logically follows that they would also fire someone for such a document damaging the company image. Any judgement of innocence or guilt on the allegations down the road is irrelevant to the damage done now.
