Sweet & Vicious owner Hakan Karamahmutoglu has agreed to pay a $500,000 settlement in a case accusing him of sexually harassing and demeaning female and minority staff.
A Manhattan bar owner has agreed to pay a $500,000 settlement in a case accusing him of sexually harassing and demeaning female and minority staff – including regularly calling them “b—hes” and “cows,” officials announced Wednesday.
The probe found that Karamahmutoglu allowed a work culture where female bartenders were harassed and physically threatened by customers, James said. Customers threatened to stab, rape and beat the women and threw glasses at them – yet management did nothing to intervene. Karamahmutoglu allegedly used slurs against employees and allowed managers and customers to sexually harass them.The nightmare bar owner slung derogatory words at workers including calling black security guards “gangsters;” calling a Puerto Rican manager a “terrorist,” and telling “his staff not to hire any more ‘Puerto Rican trash,’ because they were ‘not trustworthy,'” the AG alleged.
The worker said they were glad to hold the bar accountable, adding they hoped it would discourage “other like-minded employers in the industry from subjecting future employees to the same harmful treatment.” “I signed the settlement agreement to bring closure to this episode and to allow all parties to move on,” he said.
