A Former NY General Manager Sues Red Lobster for Race and Sex Discrimination
The former General Manager of Red Lobster’s Horseheads location is suing the restaurant chain for race and sex discrimination.
According to a complaint filed in the Western District of New York, Elmira resident Miquelle Fountain is alleging “discriminatory conduct through racist and sexist harassment” leading up to January 9, 2020, when Fountain claims she was “wrongfully terminated.”
In the complaint, Fountain claimed customers referred to her as “colored” and refused to speak with her due to her race. Several complaints were made by Fountain to other managers in the company, which she says were ignored.
