A former sales manager at Martha Stewart‘s Body and Soul magazine is suing the company for discrimination!
After being severely injured in a car accident, she is claiming she was pressured to work immediately after her injuries and to work from home while still on disability leave!
Kiki Paris was hit by a car back in May of 2008, which resulted in multiple fractures to her spine and left elbow. A 7 lb metal “halo” was also affixed to her skull!
Sounds painful!
Paris also claims that the company asked her to inform her clients of the injuries in order to sell “sympathy pages.” Sure enough she was let go and now she is asking for compensation as well being able to return to her job.
Martha’s spokeswoman had no comment.
We know the magazine industry is hurting, but the woman was hit by a car! Surely she needed plenty of time to recuperate.
Sounds like she could have a case to us!
