On the Job: Gender Discrimination in the Workplace
Kimberly Osorio, the first female editor-in-chief of The Source, and colleague, Michelle Joyce, the then-vice president of marketing, filed a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Commission accusing then-Chief Brand Executive Raymond “Benzino†Scott and magazine owner David Mays of committing gender discrimination, sexual harassment and unlawful retaliation against women at the company in April 2005. A jury later rejected Joyce’s case, but Osorio’s went on to trial, where the defamation charge was added on. Although Osorio and Joyce were the only two to file with the EEOC, there were more incidents.
