The Swiss daily "Tages-Anzeiger" has filed a lawsuit against "Spiegel": In early February, the magazine published an essay by Anuschka Roshani, long-time editor of the "Tages-Anzeiger" weekend supplement "Das Magazin," in which she accused her former employer Finn Canonica of sexual harassment with racial overtones. The publisher fared poorly as well. The TX Group has launched a lawsuit against "Spiegel" and Roshani after "careful consideration."
When questioned by other German media FAZ, the publisher's rationale for the legal action is extremely brief: "In particular, the allusion to the 'Harvey Weinstein' case made in both text and images is, from Tamedia's point of view, a violation of personality," a spokeswoman for the publisher stated.
This is most likely referring to the author's and the "Spiegel's" heavily applied staging. Even if Roshani's charges are true, the scope of the Weinstein case cannot be determined.
The question is who is now claiming personal rights. Finn Canonica has already filed a lawsuit against Der Spiegel. The newspaper "Spiegel" stated that they had "received a cease and desist request covering several points, which we have completely rejected." Concerning the latest complaint notice, the "Spiegel" stated that "only one complaint had been received by email from a lawyer in this matter so far." Of course, we will continue to report."
