These are the text messages that allegedly got a former Bungie executive fired, according to a court document written by Sony

It was first reported by Stephen Totilo of Game File, who's been following the case since the lawsuit began. In the document Sony first repeat their claims against Barrett, citing the original investigation they did into his conduct.
