New chapter of one of the darkest cases in the video game industry in recent years. So much so that Activision Blizzard is facing a new lawsuit stemming from the scandal that came to light at the end of last year and which, on this occasion, is being brought by the family of a company employee who committed suicide after being sexually harassed by co-workers. This is how the medium picks it up The Washington Postalluding to the fact that the legal text indicates that the harassment suffered by the 32-year-old Kerri Moynihan was decisive in causing his suicide in 2017.
Activision Blizzard officially responds
Thus, the claim has already been processed in the Los Angeles Superior Court pointing out that the events that occurred at Activision Blizzard were decisive for the victim to commit suicide. And it is that apparently, several personal photos and committed to explicit content of the young woman circulated among several colleagues in the office as a result of a trip in which the victim was accompanied by her supervisor, Greg Restiuito.

The young woman’s family assures that Restiuito lied to the Anaheim police about the intimate relationship he had with Moynihan, concealing any hint or evidence of his relationship with the victim after his death. In addition, Activision Blizzard is accused of destruction of evidence by not handing over the computer of said employee to the police, while there were several access restrictions of Restiuito devices.
Finally, the lawsuit also ensures that from Activision Blizzard no corrective action taken immediate and that they should have known about all this at the time of the events. For its part, Activision Blizzard have issued a statement assuring that they are “deeply saddened for the tragic death of Ms. Moynihan” after admitting that he was a valued member of the company. “Out of respect for the family we have no further comments,” they conclude, adding that they will address the issue through the Legal procedures corresponding.
