This one was one of the biggest sex scandals our neighor to the north has had to deal with. Jian Ghomeshi has dropped his $50 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit against his former employer, the CBC, according to Reuters. Ghomeshi  will also pay the CBC's legal costs. The CBC fired Ghomeshi in October, saying it had received "information" that precluded it from continuing its relationship with the host. Ghomeshi posted on his Facebook page that he was fired because of his preference for consensual bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism in sex. Toronto police are also investigating allegations of sexual assault made by three women against  Ghomeshi. He has not been charged. The CBC is also investigating allegations that Ghomeshi harassed or assaulted at least two of its employees. (Pictured courtesy Reuters)
