A former Peloton instructor has accused the company of wrongful termination and discrimination, alleging in a lawsuit that an executive mocked his Irish background and his request for a medical exemption for the Covid vaccine.
Daniel McKenna is suing Peloton for nearly $2m after the exercise and media company terminated his employment last month. McKenna has accused Peloton’s chief content officer, Jennifer Cotter, of discrimination, retaliation and breach of contract.
