Amanda Johnson, former L'Oréal marketing vice president, launches a lawsuit against the beauty company for racial discrimination and a toxic working environment. Amanda Johnson, former marketing director of L'Oréal, sue them for racial discrimination and exposed to a poisonous workplace involving an executive who sees pornography during a meeting. In the lawsuit she filed against the company, "Johnson quickly learned the ugly truth about the beauty fighter, including watching a male leader openly watch pornography during a business meeting, six-burned parties at luxury European hotels during workstations and racist hostility from the highest levels of leadership, "an excerpt from the suit reads
She said she was fired after complaining about how she felt physically threatened by Vice President Nicolas Krafft in Europe. After the incident, she filed an appeal against Krafft to his head Dan Bethelmy-Rada. He told her that he would look at the question when she came back from vacation. The problem was never addressed. Instead, she said within a few hours of returning from work, she was fired over a conference call. She filed the case because she felt her shooting was in return for submitting the report to Krafft.
Johnson described how her boss Rada had been drunken parties showing favoritism against young g ** male employees during business trips. One night in Rome, Johnson said that Rada told her to "go and flirt" with a group of young male employees and bring them to the Rada hotel room. "Not only that, she claimed that he saw porn open during a business meeting.
The former L'Oréal exec is suing for all earnings she would have received, as well as compensatory and punitive damages. She also wants the company to "be permanently restrained from such workplace violations, that the company makes sure the effects of such violations do not continue to affect her employment opportunities."
L’Oréal addressed Johnson's claims in a statement to DailyMail:
"Amanda Johnson was fired for a pattern of unprofessional conduct that surfaced during her final months at the company, including what in our view was abusive and threatening behavior toward colleagues, serious lapses in judgment, and declining performance."
"After she was let go, Ms. Johnson raised some alarming allegations about her manager and certain co-workers through a lawyer."
"We took her allegations seriously and investigated them all with great care, as they had not been reported to Human Resources when she was with the company. We interviewed those at the company who would have been in a position to corroborate the alleged behaviors of her manager and co-workers, including those that Ms. Johnson identified as witnesses," the statement continued.
The company says that no one that they spoke with substantiated her claims while adding they are an equal opportunity employer.Johnson’s lawyers clapped back at the company:
“L’Oréal’s public response to Ms. Johnson’s complaint shows that the company holds underrepresented minorities to a different standard in all respects. L’Oréal again has wrongfully tried to discredit and punish the victim, an African-American woman, by choosing to accept a false version of events as told by a few white employees on its payroll.
L’Oréal’s so-called ‘investigation’ conducted ‘with great care’ did not even include asking Ms. Johnson for her side of the story.”
