MediaBuyerPlanner: Julie Roehm has decided not to pursue the lawsuit against Wal-Mart that she filed in January; in return, Wal-Mart has said it will not pursue litigation against Roehm.
Roehm’s suit against Wal-Mart claimed she was wrongfully terminated from her position as svp, marketing communications.
Roehm said in a statement that she is not receiving any money or compensation to settle the complaint. As to a reason for dropping the suit, she is quoted as saying in Adweek: “I thought that a settlement agreement would be reached within a few weeks. Instead, the lawsuit has expanded into other issues, and has become more difficult and financially draining than I ever imagined.”
Julie Roehm’s suit against Wal-Mart was dismissed by a Michigan judge, who said that if Roehm wanted to pursue the suit, she should do so in Arkansas, where the retailer is based.
