“In an email sent to Sony’s top lawyer and other high ranking executives at the company, one former employee alleges a workplace of horrors, filled with sexual harassment, racism, verbal abuse and gender bias. An unnamed African-American woman who worked for Keith Le Goy, President of International Distribution at Sony Pictures Television, claims she and other African-American coworkers were passed over for promotions in favor of less experienced Caucasian employees, that she was the victim of frequent expletive-laden verbal attacks and she alleges that Le Goy sexually harassed her on multiple occasions.”

Is this guy “Jewish” or is he mixed? The dreads are throwing me off. Lol. I read this lady’s e-mails and she’s too detailed to be lying. This guy sounds like he’s a real douche. Even if he was the nicest boss in the world, it is clear that Sony’s employment practices, policies and procedures are creating a disparate impact against qualified African Americans from being hired and/or promoted to meaningful positions at Sony Pictures — like most of the studios, networks and talent agencies in Hollywood. Time for this woman to lawyer up (she probably already has) because she definitely has a case under Title VII, Section 1981, NYSHRL and NYCHRL!
