According to the lawsuit, Drayton was the only African-American employee at Habba Madaio & Associates, a relatively new and small firm based in Bedminster, New Jersey—which is also home to the Trump National Golf Club.
Drayton had worked with Habba at her previous firm between 2017 and 2019 and was recruited by Habba to join the newly formed Habba Madaio & Associates in November 2021. Drayton “had some reservations” about returning to work for Habba, according to the lawsuit, but she agreed mostly because she was unemployed at the time having been laid off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first couple of months there were like “a honeymoon,” according to the lawsuit. But soon, Habba’s behavior made Drayton feel uncomfortable at work.
Habba and her partner, Michael Madaio, regularly played and sang along to music with sexually explicit and offensive lyrics that made Drayton uncomfortable, the lawsuit alleges.
On January 26, they played several songs that Drayton felt were “both racially offensive and sexually inappropriate” for the workplace, including ‘N***** in Paris’ by Kanye West and Jay-Z, ‘Ruff Ryders Anthem’ by DMX and Lil Wayne’s ‘Rich A** F**k’ and ‘Lollipop.’
Every time Habba and others said the n-word, Drayton felt “demeaned and violated,” the lawsuit says.
On at least one occasion, Abba and others suggested to Drayton that a song was being “played expressly for her.” She felt “shocked, embarrassed and humiliated,” the lawsuit says.
It was around the time of the April incident that Drayton began suffering from panic attacks, particularly as she was preparing to go to work, the lawsuit says.
Habba noticed a change in Drayton’s behavior and called her into her office in May, where she told her that she seemed “unhappy and disengaged at work,” the lawsuit says.
Drayton did not feel able to tell Habba the reason behind her withdrawal in that meeting, but sent an email to Habba and Madaio on June 8 where she complained that she felt the work environment had “become hostile and unwelcoming to her as an African-American woman.”
Drayton then received a call from Habba and Madaio, during which Habba allegedly “criticized and attacked” Drayton for being “combative, hyper-sensitive and ungrateful.”
Habba allegedly also said that she could not possibly be racist because “I am a f**king minority myself” and “I’m not white. I used to be bullied because I am Arab.” Habba also told Drayton that her comments about James were “not meant for you,” according to the lawsuit.
After that call, Drayton felt she had no other choice but to resign as Habba and Madaio “wholly denied responsibility” and made no indication that they would take corrective action.
Newsweek contacted an attorney representing Drayton for further comment. James’ office has also been contacted for comment.
Even on the rare chance that this is true, how in the world do a few wordy durds compare in any way to Dim resident Brandon using his government powers to suppress those who disagree with him?
If I ever have a dispute with an employer I guess I am supposed to notify the press of the dispute just in case they ever need to match it up with someone who has a link, however obscure, to whatever Republican candidate the media wants to help destroy by guilt-by-association.
What? Trump needs to get lawyers that know and use the N-word.
stopped caring at “lawsuit alleged”
Well, there is no doubt that Letitia James is black.
It is simply a matter of opinion as to whether she is a b**ch or not.
I kinda suspect she is.
You know, like lawyers do in their offices.
