A recent case before the New York Appellate Division arose from a lawsuit seeking damages for employment discrimination based on sex in violation of the New York State Human Rights Law and the New York City Human Rights Law.

From November 2012 to July 2017, the plaintiff in this case worked as a sports account executive for WFAN/Yankees Radio Network. CBS Radio East, LLC – which was a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of CBS Radio, Inc. – directly employed the plaintiff. CBS Radio, Inc. was in turn a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of CBS Corporation.

In July 2018, the plaintiff sued CBS Radio, Inc. and CBS Radio East, LLC, among others to recover damages for the alleged sex-based discrimination. She later amended her complaint to add CBS Corporation as a defendant.

The plaintiff claimed that the following occurred during her employment: certain male supervisors and coworkers sexually harassed her, she received unfavorable treatment as compared with her male counterparts, and she was terminated soon after her involvement in an altercation at an employer-sponsored event in July 2017.
