OWN Employee Sues For Sexual Harrassment

Date:

OWN employee is suing the network after allegedly experiencing sexual harassment by her supervisor.

Oprah’s TV network is on fire. The network has some of the biggest shows including Greenleaf and several Tyler Perry TV shows. But, now the network is under fire.

According to TMZ, OWN is being sued for allegedly engaging in sexual harassment campaign against a new mother.

From TMZ:

Rebecca Taylor started working at OWN in 2010. She claims her supervisor, Nakisha Gowen, was a director at the network. Taylor says she got pregnant in early 2013 and that’s when the harassment allegedly started, although she’s vague about the allegations during the pregnancy.

Taylor says once her kid was born, she began pumping breast milk at work. She says Gowan did various things to embarrass her, including approaching her during a company meeting and pretending to squeeze her breasts and then lay her head on them. Taylor says she was “mortified and humiliated.”
