In a series of tweets published early Saturday, Martha Rogers, a director of Rogers Communications, called for her brother, Edward Rogers, to 'step down.'
Drama between members of the Rogers family seems to have spilled from the boardroom to social media.
"You can stop me anytime by ceasing, desisting & stepping down. Know I won't bring anything up without full receipts, I got them from the last 20+ years − who's vulnerable now,", seemingly calling for Edward to resign as chair of the family trust that apparently controls the company's voting shares. "I'll gladly blow up my life to stop this," she wrote, adding she had previously been threatened with "severe personal repercussions."
. In a news release late Thursday, he announced his plan to remove independent directors John Clappison, David Peterson, Bonnie Brooks, Ellis Jacob and newly named chairman John A. MacDonald from the company’s board.
