Parents’ suit alleges sexual harassment at Activision drove their daughter to suicide
LA TimesThe parents of a former Activision Blizzard employee have filed a lawsuit alleging the company’s sexual harassment culture led to her suicide. The parents of an Activision Blizzard employee who took her own life during a work retreat has filed a lawsuit against the Santa Monica-based video game company alleging wrongful death, sexual harassment and failure to prevent harassment. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges Moynihan was subjected to “unwanted sexual harassment” that led her to take her own life that night. It also alleges that Moynihan suffered emotional distress and mental anguish resulting from a “hostile, intimidating, offensive, oppressive, and abusive” workplace, and that Activision failed to prevent the harassment that led to her death, both in violation of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.
