Dorothy Carvello, a former employee of Atlantic Records, has filed a complaint against the label, its parent company Warner Music Group, former Atlantic president and Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris, former Atlantic chairman Jason Flom, and the estate of late Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, alleging that she was sexually abused and harassed by Ertegun and Morris, and sexually harassed by Flom, during her time at Atlantic Records. Carvello began at Atlantic as an administrative employee and later became the label’s first female A&R executive.
The lawsuit, filed in New York on 4 December, is the second filed against Ertegun and Atlantic; late last month former talent scout, Jan Roeg, filed a suit against Ertegun and the label over the alleged harassment and assault she faced while working for Atlantic through the 80s, 90s and 00s.
