Removed Ben & Jerry's chair says Magnum aimed to 'smear' her
Former Ben & Jerry's chair, Anuradha Mittal, accuses Magnum of attempting to tarnish her reputation after being removed from the board following an investigation. The dispute is part of a broader conflict between the ice cream maker and its owner, Magnum, over board independence and social missions. Mittal alleged that the move was in response to her resistance against efforts to stifle the board's advocacy for human rights.
