Olympic Snowboarder, Shaun White, recently appeared in the media regarding a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in May by his former Bad Things female bandmate (drummer), Lena Zawaideh. She alleges that White has subjected her to acoso sexual<\/a>\u00a0for over seven years.<\/p>\n Zawaideh claims White exposed her to a great deal of porn that she often viewed as unpleasant. She said he allegedly showed a video of a couple that slaughtered an animal then engaged in sexual acts within the vicinity of the executed animal, according to a reputable source, TMZ. Another disturbing video Zawaideh said White coerced her to watch was titled \u201cChurch of Fudge,\u201d which covered porn between a nun and a priest.<\/p>\n The sexual harassment also included porn with unidentified manure present in the video. In addition to the ludicrous video footage, Zawaideh said she received inappropriate images from White revealing \u201cengorged and erect penises.\u201d<\/p>\n All the sexual harassment previously stated, is more than enough to make an individual’s stomach cringe, however, Zawaideh said she endured more sexual harassment. She reported that White has sent her several text messages regarding her band attire not being revealing enough. She showed the text messages he sent requesting that she alters her attire along with suggestive images of mesh tops.<\/p>\n In 2010, Zawaideh alleged that White ordered her to cut her hair. He also may attempt to \u201ckiss her<\/a>\u201d during a Halloween event they attended. Although Zawaideh was a drummer, she has aspirations of becoming a doctor. The sexual harassment lawyer representing Zawaideh explained that White\u2019s actions left Zawaideh \u201cemotionally distressed and mentally harmed.\u201d She had to receive professional help, \u201cpsychological treatment,\u201d in order to restore her mental health. A disturbed state of mind has hindered Zawaideh from attaining a physician\u2019s status.<\/p>\n Zawaideh released a statement on behalf of women in the workplace who endure sexual harassment saying, \u201cI am pursuing this case because women should not have to tolerate harassment at work.\u201d Fame does not exempt anyone from the consequences of pursuing an illegal action. She added, \u201cShaun White should not be allowed to do whatever he wants just because he\u2019s famous.\u201d<\/p>\n White\u2019s response to the sexual harassment allegations stated, \u201cMany years ago, I exchanged texts with a friend who is now using them to craft a bogus lawsuit.\u201d He said, \u201cThere is absolutely no coincidence to the timing of her claims, and we will defend them vigorously.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to being fired from the band in 2014, Zawaideh had been exposed to White\u2019s \u201cdarker, misogynistic personality.\u201d Currently, she is seeking monetary and other unspecified damages.<\/span><\/p>\n Sexual harassment comes in many forms throughout the professional atmosphere. Sexual harassment between people of the opposite sex, especially in a close work setting, is very common. Sexual harassment is illegal, and former and current victims of sexual harassment consistently reiterate that it needs to stop. It seems that most work environments are not invested in securing the safety of their staff until sexual harassment allegations appear.

Preventative Measures for Sexual Harassment<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nPreventative measures for sexual harassment such as conducting an internal survey requesting anonymous responses about sexual harassment at work, or sexual harassment training and policies may have a impact on individuals to either speak up or reconsider harassing someone at work. The survey will help the leaders of the workplace assess a better understanding of where sexual harassment lies at work. The sexual harassment training and policy reviews will keep the staff well informed.<\/p>\nSexual Harassment Lawyer New York City<\/h2>\n
