Timberlake named in sexual discrimination lawsuit

Justin Timberlake has been named in a sexual discrimination lawsuit against Southern Hospitality, the New York restaurant in which he is a business partner.

Well, we all know what a horrible chauvinist bastard Justin Timberlake is, don't we? Or did I just make that up? I can't remember. Anyway, Timberlake has found himself named on a sexual discrimination lawsuit against the New York restaurant in which he is a business partner. Alison McDaniel, a former manager at Southern Hospitality, says the singer's business partners, Eytan Sugarman and Ronnie Kaplan, were guilty of "vile and discriminatory conduct".

The lawsuit alleges that: "One or more of Southern Hospitality's owners and/or executive managers bullied, degraded, harassed and ultimately discharged McDaniel... because of her gender. In at least one instance, defendants Sugarman and Kaplan viewed... pornography while in a locked room with McDaniel and made fun of her when she began crying".

A rep for the restaurant told reporters: "We will vigorously defend any allegations of wrongdoing or improper behaviour". Timberlake hasn't commented. But then why would he bother responding to some little lady's little moans?
