A former employee of Avenue Capital Group has accused billionaire cofounder Marc Lasry of repeated sexual harassment, including allegedly forcing the employee to kiss and hug him while he touched her breasts and then retaliating against her when she warned the firm about disclosing information to investors.
The suit comes just days after Lasry, Avenue Capital, and cofounder Sonia Gardner sued Gina Strum, accusing her of carrying out a decade-long campaign of harassment and blackmail and then seeking $50 million from the firm. A representative for Strum denied those claims in a statement to Fortune.
