Cooper’s lawsuit claims that her ex-employer, Franklin Templeton, failed to further investigate the infamous May 2020 incident between herself and Christian Cooper and immediately labeled her as a “privileged white female” after they announced her firing in a public statement. Additionally, it states she did not call the cops on Christian because of his race but because he selected her as a target due to a feud between dog and bird lovers.
“Even a perfunctory investigation would have shown that Plaintiff did not shout at Christian Cooper or call the police from Central Park on May 25, 2020 because she was a racist — she did these things because she was alone in the park and frightened to death after being selected as the next target of Christian Cooper, an overzealous birdwatcher engaged in Central Park’s ongoing feud between birdwatchers and dog owners,“

Christian’s video shows Amy making a 911 call to police and she said to the avid bird watcher that she was going to tell them that “An African American man” was making threats at her while she was walking her dog in Central Park, contrary to what her lawsuit documentation claims. It was also reported last year, that she made a second 911 call and claimed Christian assaulted her.
The suit also claims that Amy’s ex-employee failed to interview them both along with obtaining a record of the New York City Park Board meeting where Christian allegedly had an another altercation with a fellow dog walker.
She is seeking damages for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and racial discrimination.
