Fired radio worker says boss told him he wasn't 'godlike.' A judge awarded him $500K

A federal judge last week awarded a nearly $500,000 judgment to an ex-WUFO program director who said that the radio station fired him after his boss told him he was not "godlike."

Robert Frank of Garner, N.C., sued Vision Multimedia Group-WUFO Radio LLC, alleging unlawful discrimination on the basis of religion and gender.

Sheila Brown, the majority owner of WUFO, made numerous comments regarding his religion and gender, including that he was not "godlike" and that God had told her he "needed to perform in a Christian manner," according to his lawsuit.

Frank also claimed that Brown would pray with people in the office and pressured him to become a member of her religious organization.
