Museum Of Sex Faces Shocking Harassment Allegations From Employee

Allegations at the Museum of Sex

The Museum of Sex, known for its provocative exhibits, is now embroiled in controversy as a former employee, Travis White, files a lawsuit alleging the workplace was rife with sexual harassment. According to the legal filing, White claims that he encountered inappropriate behavior from several colleagues, including one who openly displayed her OnlyFans content on her computer screen.

Disturbing Workplace Experiences

White, who was hired as a retail manager in November 2022, described a series of unsettling incidents involving his colleagues. In his lawsuit, he names Kit Richardson, known online as Coquette Wonkette, as one of the primary sources of harassment. White alleges that Richardson not only left explicit images visible on her screen but also made unwanted advances, asking him if he was "into big girls" while touching his back.

"Pussy doesn’t bite. Did you bring a condom? Let’s get started," Richardson allegedly remarked, according to White's filing in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Hostile Environment and Dismissal

The harassment didn't stop there. White recounts further discomfort from event manager Michael Delauretis, who allegedly lifted his shirt and suggested White change his attire for better tips. The situation escalated when White's request for paternity leave was denied, with his boss reportedly telling him, "I don’t respect men who take off for paternity leave."

Legal and Institutional Response

Ultimately, White's tenure at the museum ended in April when he was fired, prompting his legal action seeking unspecified damages. A lawyer for the museum has stated that the institution "categorically denies the allegations" and emphasizes that they take such complaints seriously. However, Richardson and Delauretis have not been available for comment, leaving many questions unanswered as the case unfolds.

The lawsuit paints a troubling picture of the Museum of Sex's internal culture, casting a shadow over its public image as a celebration of sexual expression.
