By now you have probably already heard that another celebrity is
in the news as a result of harassment allegations. In Savannah,
Georgia, Paula Deen, her brother "Bubba," and their
restaurant Uncle Bubba's Oyster House have been sued for racism
and sexual harassment. According to a complaint filed in Chatham
County by former employee Lisa Jackson, "Bubba" Hiers
engaged in violent behavior including sexual harassment directed at
female employees.
Say What?
Ms. Jackson had been promoted to general manager at the
restaurant by Paula Deen after a previous general manager, who was
male, was fired for having inappropriate relationships with
subordinate employees, according to the complaint. At the time, Ms.
Deen allegedly made a pointed comment about the fact that she did
not intend to lose all she had worked for just because of the
former general manager's illicit pursuits.
