Overview
- The federal lawsuit in North Carolina accuses Beast Industries of sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act.
- Plaintiff Lorrayne Mavromatis, hired in 2022 to run Instagram, says HR rejected her complaints and moved her into a role viewed as a career dead end.
- She says the company fired her less than three weeks after she returned from maternity leave, telling her she was “too qualified” for the downgraded post.
- The complaint names former CEO James Warren for inappropriate meetings and comments and says MrBeast avoided projects with her because she had a “sexual effect” on him.
- Beast Industries denies the claims in statements to Variety and ABC News and says records will refute them, as earlier reporting on “Beast Games” has already put its workplace under watch.
