Ex-Employee Sues Gucci for $10 Million for Sexual Harassment

At a fairly rare bout of lousy media, Gucci is called into a nasty lawsuit within a former Chicago shop worker's accusations of sexual harassment, supposedly given by her store manager.

Initially reported by TMZ, as well as based on an official complaint filed Sept. 29, the said supervisor, identified as "Byrne," started "flirtatious overtures" to the plaintiff, Chanel Falasco, soon after she started working in the place in autumn of 2014. Those overtures, that files say were undesirable and never in any way reciprocated, escalated in grossness over time; anecdotes clarified comprise: commenting on her "booty" and "buttocks," calling her by the nickname "Booty" while in the office, which makes "physical improvements" in an elevator such as "tried kissing, groping, and catching Plaintiff's head, neck, chest, and buttocks," and, afterwards, exposing herself to her in a storeroom. The documents also allege that there wasn't any human resources personnel on site which she had been told by a manager to "brush off him."

During a performance evaluation, Falasco states "Byrne" remarked to her that she'd have obtained better scores had she given in to his improvements. "Byrne" got promoted to some place in Florida shortly afterwards; Falasco stopped in February of 2016 following a firm sexual harassment training practice brought back traumatic memories, each the submitting. Gucci hasn't been commenting to media on the topic.

Falasco is seeking unspecified damages (around $10 million based on WWD) to get a hostile work environment brought on by sexual harassment, quid pro quo sexual harassment and negligent oversight on the part of Gucci.

So far as legal entanglements proceed, Gucci is generally just in the news over bogus asserts -- and one example of a salesman claiming he was fired for being directly. While Gucci does not deserve all of the blame for a disgusting individual's repulsive and inexcusable (alleged) activities, the Kering-owned manufacturer did worker said individual, also (allegedly) neglected Falasco in her efforts to seek out assist.
