The CBC's announcement came with very few details "The CBC is saddened to announce that its relationship with Jian Ghomeshi has come to an end. The decision was not made without serious deliberation and careful consideration."

The announcement was followed by a tweet from The Giller Prize, announcing that Ghomeshi will no longer be hosting its November 10th Gala.

Initially, the radio personality took things lightly by tweeting that he was okay and that he just needs some time to himself. But, his lawyers took matters on a higher level when they announced that Ghomeshi was suing the CBC for US$50 million and that he also plans to file grievance under CBC' collective agreement in hopes of getting his job back.

Ghomeshi claims that the mess was caused by a jilted ex-girlfriend who decided to publicize their bedroom activities, but he claims that his 20-something ex agreed to having rough sex, which sometimes included role play, dominance and submission and that the sex was all consensual.
So far the Toronto Police has confirmed that no charges have been filed against Ghomeshi.
