Yet another former employee of the NY Post has filed a lawsuit against the tabloid, making this the billionth staffer to add his or her brushstroke to a work-in-progress portrait of the Post as a racist, sexist, alpha male locker room. The latest salvo comes from former Post photographer Mary McLoughlin, who claims she was pushed out of her job because the fratastic editors only want sexy young ladies toddling around the office. One editor, David Boyle, even referred to his young female assistants as "David's Harem," and hired a make-up artist to do them up for the holiday parties, the suit alleges. Then they dirty danced the night away, with Boyle allegedly grabbing their pelvises and "bumping" and "grinding" in an obscene way that was "unprofessional and offensive to those who had to watch this spectacle." Still, we'd like to see some photos. ([email protected]!)
According to the suit, the spectators did not include his wife. That's because—again, according to McLoughlin—Boyle said he "would never invite" his wife to this party. We could see how that might be awkward. Presumably, Boyle's wife also skipped his going-away party, when, to spice things up, he allegedly had "David's Harem" dress up as "David's Pirates." And "he, of course, was captain of the ship," the suit alleges. Yargghh, Gawker has all the sordid details.
