MrBeast Company Sued by Ex-Executive Over Sexual Harassment and Pregnancy Discrimination

Beast Industries denies the claims, saying her firing followed a broader reorganization.

Overview

  • The federal complaint by former executive Lorrayne Mavromatis alleges a hostile workplace for women, including sexual harassment and pressure to work during maternity leave.
  • She says a supervisor required her to join a video call during childbirth and that complaints to human resources were dismissed as unfounded.
  • The filing accuses former CEO James Warren of inappropriate comments about her effect on MrBeast and of pressing for meetings at his home, after which she was moved to a sidelined division.
  • Mavromatis says the company fired her less than three weeks after she returned from pregnancy-related leave and told her she was too high calibre for the role.
  • Beast Industries calls the lawsuit opportunistic and categorically false, says Slack and WhatsApp messages and witness accounts rebut the claims, and argues her job was cut in a 2025 restructuring that affected men and women; the case now awaits early court decisions that could send it to discovery or dismissal, and the plaintiff seeks lost pay, benefits, damages, and possible reinstatement.
