A young woman was allegedly groped 3 times a day and subjected to other 'unwanted, disgusting and offensive' sexual harassment while working at the New York City steakhouse Smith & Wollensky, the former employee says in a state lawsuit.
Such treatment of female employees is all too regular in restaurants across America, said Eric Baum, Gonzalez's lawyer.
Allison Good, a vice president of marketing and communications for Quality Branded, a restaurant group that includes Smith & Wollensky, denied all of Gonzalez's claims. When a co-worker continually pressed Gonzalez — who was under the legal drinking age — to go out for drinks, colleagues told her that he had been accused of sexual harassment before and that"we all denied it for him, who are they going to believe?"
