?? A 'frivolous' lawsuit is a case with no merit. From Merriam-Webster:
Full Definition of FRIVOLOUS
a : of little weight or importance
b : having no sound basis (as in fact or law) <a frivolous lawsuit>
Granted, it's only my opinion the case has no merit, that she's filed a frivolous lawsuit.
And even if she loses, her "In for a penny, in for a pound" team of lawyers will probably appeal -- they're probably working pro-bono ("Yay! We're going to get rich suing the almighty KPCB!") and might well think "we got this far, filing the appeal has a chance and it's not that much more work."
If she'd had a few female witnesses back up her story that "gender discrimination is rampant at KPCB, and gender discrimination is why I was never promoted."
She's got none. ZERO. Her whole case is 'gender discrimination.' Since there are no witnesses to concur, it's looking more and more that the stuff she pulled on Komisar and her list of enemies at the firm really do add up to "crummy performer" as the reason she didn't get a promo.
Are you aware that she told her bosses "give me ten million dollars and I'll disappear" ? That comes across as borderline extortion.
