Overview
- MrBeast’s entities filed papers in North Carolina federal court asking a judge to throw out the suit and denying harassment, retaliation, and leave-related violations.
- Lorrayne Mavromatis, who worked at the company from August 2022 to November 2025, alleges a hostile culture for women, retaliation for complaints, and termination weeks after returning from maternity leave.
- The companies argue her role was cut in a 2025 restructuring that eliminated multiple positions across genders rather than because of pregnancy or complaints.
- The defense points to Slack and WhatsApp messages, company documents, and a signed handbook receipt as evidence, including a Slack exchange noting she was in labor and told not to check messages.
- The case remains at an early stage with a federal filing and an EEOC complaint, and it follows separate past lawsuits over treatment on MrBeast-related productions.
