Girls Gone Wild Sued for Sex Harassment
LOS ANGELES - A former sales representative for Mantra Films Inc. and Girls Gone Wild has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the two companies, their founder, Joe Francis, and another individual. Tranae Hammond claims in the lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court that she was the victim of repeated acts of sexual harassment by a supervisor named Ron and was fired after coming forward. Francis, who makes an estimated $29 million a year from videos of young women exposing their breasts and being shown in other sexually provocative situations, wasn't accused of any direct sexual harassment. The lawsuit alleges he improperly managed the companies and took no steps to investigate or take preventative action against Ron's alleged actions. Ron's last name was listed as "unknown" in the lawsuit. Francis, 34, is in jail in Reno, Nev., in a federal tax evasion case. He was taken into custody May 14 in Florida after serving a criminal contempt sentence in a separate civil matter. An e-mail message to a media representative for Mantra Films wasn't immediately returned Tuesday. According to court papers, Ron touched and massaged Hammond's shoulders and arms, frequently spoke about sex in front of her, and on at least one occasion "tapped (her) buttocks with a clipboard." The actions resulted in creating a hostile work environment, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit also seeks class action status for claims including failure to pay overtime, failure to provide required meal and rest periods, and failure to maintain required records. |

For the record, I think these guys are total scum. However, how can you claimed to be harassed after you get drunk and whip out your goods on camera?

As the Onion once put it, "Girl Gone Wild Actually Just Regular Girl, Only More Insecure And Drunk."

Not that the GGW videos are anything special (they aren't even particularly erotic), but you have to be kind of an idiot to work for this video series if you're not into sexual harassment. That's kind of the bread and butter of the job there...

You made a GIANT leap in that analogy about roofies. How you can equate what I said with approving rape is just fucking silly. |

I've heard that they totally milk people that order these... It's a scam similar to Columbia house where they'll send you a new video and charge you each month until you cancel, and they make it difficult to cancel.

The creator of Girls Gone Wild was also, once, held up by gunpoint in his own home and, by many accounts, anally raped with a pink dildo. The only informant as to who comitted this crime is Paris Hilton. But she was too wasted to remember specific details. Sounds like a joke right?
