Deadline: The same day that Starz revealed third-quarter numbers below expectations, the premium cable TV service has been hit with a wide-ranging and potentially explosive multi-claim lawsuit by Keno Thomas, a former SVP of sales and affiliate marketing. A Starz spokesperson responded: “Starz, as well as the other defendants cited, will defend themselves vigorously against these scurrilous, unsubstantiated and offensive attacks by a disgruntled former employee.”
