Marc Jacobs' Man Seems To Make A Lot Of People REAL FREAKIN' ANGRY!!!! (PHOTOS)

Posted April 4, 2011 by admin for Global Grind Staff

For the second week in a row, Marc Jacobs President Robert Duffy is in the crosshairs of former Marc Jacobs International employees.

Last weekend Duffy was called a "tyrant" on Twitter by an angry intern. This week, Duffy is being sued by former chief financial officer and chief operating officer of Marc Jacobs International, Patrice Lataillade, Women's Wear Daily reports.

Lataillade claims he was "subjected to a discriminatory environment offensive to him," and was "fired in retaliation for objecting to that environment."

According to the lawsuit, examples of the hostile work environment included Duffy's "production and dissemination of a book that included photos of MJI staff in sexual positions or nude" and "Duffy's use of a nude photograph for a billboard advertisement," among other charges.

The suit also alleges that Duffy "uses company funds for personal expenses and does not censor what he does or says."

Digging further, The New York Post writes that Duffy once forced a Marc Jacobs store employee to "perform a pole dance for him," according to the complaint. From the time Lataillade started working at Marc Jacobs in 2002, there were several sexual harassment cases brought or floated against Duffy.
