Papa John's Founder accuses CEO of plotting to remove him

US pizza chain Papa John's Founder John Schnatter accused CEO Steve Ritchie of plotting to oust him from the company in order to save his own job. Schnatter alleged that Ritchie launched a "false and defamatory campaign" accusing him of racism. Schnatter resigned as Chairman in July after he apologised for using a racial slur during a media conference call.
