In a newly filed amended complaint, Philadelphia personal injury firm Kline & Specter has alleged that an ex-associate manipulated firm leaders into firing him so that he could weave a sympathetic narrative for both courts and his many social media followers.

The allegations expand on a lawsuit the firm brought against Thomas Bosworth in March over his use of social media to allegedly defame and harass the firm. The amended complaint also adds a new cause of action for abuse of process, alleging that the wrongful termination counterclaims Bosworth filed against his former firm last month were premised on the alleged falsity that he had intended to remain at the firm.
