Vester Flanagan, known professionally as Bryce Williams, claims he filed an EEOC report after former WDBJ co-worker Alison Parker made a racist remark. He also claimed that photographer Adam Ward reported him to human resources after they worked together once, according to RT.
The allegations were made in Facebook and Twitter posts by Flanagan after he murdered both Parker and Ward in the middle of a live interview they were conducting on Wednesday, August 26th.
The shooter was fired in was fired from the channel two years ago and had to be escorted from the building. He had developed a reputation as being someone who was difficult to work with.
Flanagan made similar allegations against TV station WTWC-TV in Florida back in 2000.
TMZ reports that Flanagan claimed a producer called him a "monkey," heard a manager tell another black employee to "stop talking ebonics" and said an official at the station joked about a black murder suspect with gold and green grillz, saying he had "collared greens" stuck in his teeth.
The case was settled out of court in 2001.
Flanagan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound earlier today.
