EAST LANSING, Mich. — Brenda Tracy is planning to sue Michigan State University and former head football coach Mel Tucker for a total of $75 million.
We learned Thursday that Tracy’s legal team has filed an intent-to-sue notice in the state’s Court of Claims.
The lawsuit claims a breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy - essentially arguing that the reputation of Tracy and her non-profit were harmed by actions that unfolded when she accused Tucker of sexual harassment.
Tracy made those allegations against Tucker after partnering with the university to promote her anti-sexual violence message.
Tucker was later fired.
Tracy is seeking damages of $50 million for herself and $25 million for her non-profit.
