Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla have been dragged to court by their former household staffers over allegations of racist and homophobic abuse by the family’s former head of security.
According to this Business Insider report, the lawsuit was filed by Mia King, who served as Zuckerberg and Chan’s former security operations assistant, and an unidentified John Doe, a gay and disabled man who worked as a household operations manager.
Complex continues:
The two ex-household staffers claim that they were victims of racist and homophobic abuse from Liam Booth, the former head of security for the Zuckerbergs.
King alleges that Booth frequently made racist statements toward her, often referring to her as “ghetto,” while also saying she was only hired because she is a Black woman. Meanwhile, Doe says Booth made a number of homophobic comments directed at him, even slapping his groin at a sushi restaurant in 2018.
In another incident, King claims Booth blamed her for a car accident “while pulling back his eye lids and commenting that Asian women are notoriously bad drivers,” the suit states.
Speaking to the New York Post, a spokesperson for Zuckerberg and Chan’s family office refuted the allegations: “In this case, almost all of the allegations in these complaints were first raised through counsel, after both employees had left the company, and in connection with significant monetary demands,” Ben LaBolt said.
