So Gareth Cliff is on a mission to make his Idols dismissal a VERY costly exercise for M-Net by suing them for a whopping R25-million. He's suing them for wrongful dismissal and for defamation of character.

According to a report by eNCA, he also wants to be reinstated as a judge for the upcoming 12th season. This is the report about it... it includes an interview with his lawyer and insider info. on what Gareth was directly and indirectly earning per season (R4-million):

For a timeline of events that led to his dismissal, please see: Gareth Cliff fired from Idols.

This is going to be an interesting case to watch. Plus me thinks Mnet reacted emotionally. Did what he said really warrant dismissal or a written warning? I wish this goes to court so we can see what the law says about this.
