Ellen Pao will appeal the result of a high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit she lost against a Silicon Valley venture capital firm.

Earlier this year, Pao lost all four claims in her lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, where she was a junior investing partner. She had claimed gender discrimination after she was passed over for senior partner, but a jury sided with the firm, finding that it did not engage in retaliation or discrimination.

Pao — who is now chief executive of Reddit — filed a claim in May arguing that the $972,814.50 she owes in legal fees to the firm is "grossly excessive and unreasonable."

Her decision to appeal, which was reported Monday by Reuters and other media outlets, appears to take a previous offer by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers to wave the legal fees "should Ellen Pao choose to bring this legal matter to a close."
