Fired former Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz could lose $10 million for violating a non-disparagement clause when she raged that the company's board members 'f***ed me over.'
Miss Bartz, in an interview with Fortune after her Tuesday firing by phone, also said the board was 'trying to show that they're not the doofuses that they are.' However, according to Fortune, her contract with Yahoo contained a clause barring her from criticizing the internet company.
A source told the magazine that Bartz could lose $10 million over her pointed comments.
That clause, if violated, could allow Yahoo to cancel a $10 million payout, due if she was sacked.
Miss Bartz made the call to the influential business magazine from Silicon Valley as reporters waited outside to report the news of her departure.
She said she was in New York on Tuesday to speak at Citigroup's technology conference on the following day. And she revealed that she was scheduled to call Mr Bostock at 6pm but when she did he promptly started to read a lawyer's prepared statement dismissing her. Miss Bartz told Fortune: 'I said "Roy, I think that's a script. Why don't you have the balls to tell me yourself?"'
She went on to explain that the by the end of the call she merely replied: 'I got it. I got it' as he finished reading the dismissal notice.
She told the magazine she had told her former boss: 'I thought you were classier.'

Damn
Back in the day certain quite expensive camera lenses were made JUST for this purpose. Some Hollywood types would not have their publicity pictures taken without the use of the Wollensak Verito.
These days a lot of this is done with digital post-processing, but there still is a largish market for
these lenses.
Add in the right lighting and makeup and a great deal is possible.
She looks like she rolled out of bed after battling the flu. Not a good presentation, in spite of the poor lighting.
“That clause, if violated, could allow Yahoo to cancel a $10 million payout, due if she was sacked.”
Note to self: Get the money first.
