Nadine Ahn, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), has filed a lawsuit against the bank, seeking nearly $50 million in damages. Ahn claims wrongful dismissal and reputational harm following her termination, which she argues was based on false allegations of an extramarital affair with a co-worker. She is also seeking $36 million for the public humiliation she suffered. The lawsuit highlights that Ahn was a potential candidate for the CEO position before her dismissal. Ahn denies having a romantic relationship with the colleague in question and describes the bank's decision as a 'devastating' error.
