Guess we won’t be seeing some of you ladies in those little flats anymore huh? Designer Tory Burch Sued For Racial And Sexual Discrimination According to TMZ reports : A black, bisexual woman has sued her former employer — the company run by high-end fashion designer Tory Burch — claiming her manager and co-workers put a big fat target on her head because of her race and bisexuality. Jessica Jones filed the lawsuit, claiming she worked at the billionaire designer’s flagship store in Bev Hills from July 2011 to July 2012 — and during that time, Jones claims she was called everything from a “disgusting” homosexual to a “n***er.” In the docs, Jones says her manager and co-workers treated her like dirt, telling customers and clients not to work with Jones because she was gay. Jones says her manager referred to Jones’ girlfriend as “that thing that comes to visit her at work.” On her lunch breaks, Jones says her manager would regularly ask if Jones was getting fried chicken. Jones claims she was eventually forced to resign because of the treatment she received. Jones is suing Burch’s company — as well as her manager and others — for unspecified damages. Burch was not accused of wrongdoing herself in the the lawsuit and she is not named as a defendant. This isn’t a good look Tory, you need to do a better job screening some of these folks that you hire to represent your brand. Image via PurseBlog
Now that the Twilight film franchise is drawing to a close (with $1.8 billion in receipts and counting, not including the projected $125 million opening predicted for this weekend’s Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ), series screenwriter and Dexter veteran Melissa Rosenberg has turned her attention to a sizable slate of television projects. Talking with Movieline today, Rosenberg delved into the Sopranos esque qualities of her newly announced female-led crime drama Penoza and discussed the challenges of bringing a Jessica Jones superheroine series into a post- Birds of Prey / Wonder Woman world.
