Rihanna‘s name is being dragged into a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former Gucci employer.
Josephine Robinson is suing the Italian fashion house for $5 million in damages for an “unrelenting barrage of racist comments and jokes at her expense” and one of the incidents involved the Loud songstress.
According to court docs, Robinson was working on RiRi’s contract for promoting Gucci’s Tattoo Heart accessory collection when international tax counsel Stan Sherwood told her to “tax the hell out of her” so the company could withhold 30% of her fee.
WTF!?
Josephine claims Sherwood and others continued to spew racial comments toward her, but was fired when she complained.
Gucci’s already fired back at the lawsuit, saying:
“Ms. Robinson├óΓé¼Γäós allegations are completely baseless, and the company will defend itself vigorously against this meritless litigation. The company is confident that it will prevail.”
Think they’re right???
