Mr Johnson states in the lawsuit that he was under pressure to take part in “sexually harassing games” in which staff and clients were urged to have sex, according to the New York Post. The lawsuit says that Ms Yorio told Mr Johnson that “the way to the game” was to “get laid by a co-worker on a business trip”. The company states in a court filing that “Johnson made various inappropriate comments in the workplace regarding other women in his life, hazed a junior female employee by disparaging her as ‘rookie’ and refusing to meet with her, and referred to Schwartz as ‘that b***h’ and Mrs Yorio as ‘that crazy b***h’”. Mr Johnson’s lawyer Shane Seppinni told The Post that “Janine Yorio and her enablers at Everyrealm’s comments show just how scared they are of the truth”.
