Weems sued her former employer, Tyson Foods, for gender discrimination after being fired. Weems received a separation agreement from Tyson in exchange for money, but it required her to give up her right to sue Tyson for discrimination. The district court allowed the agreement as evidence, but the appellate court found it inadmissible under Rule 408. The jury found in favor of Weems, but the verdict was reversed because of the error in admitting the separation agreement.

The relevant facts for the court's analysis are Weems' claim of discrimination, the separation agreement, and the admissibility of the agreement under Rule 408.
