A former agent and assistant to Apa chief Jim Gosnell has sued the agency and four individuals, including Gosnell, for sexual harassment and battery, wrongful termination and other alleged misconduct.
The plaintiff, identified in court papers only as Jane Doe, filed the suit Wednesday in La Superior Court (read it Here). She says her career plans were derailed by a series of actions by the agency. Her “dream of becoming a well-respected talent agent was quickly and cruelly dashed before it could even truly begin by a toxic, pervasive and sexually abusive environment fomented by the senior management at one of the nation’s leading talent agencies,” the complaint alleges.
The suit names Gosnell, Hammond and Apa employees Paul Santana and Josh Humiston. Immediately after her hiring in 2015, through her exit last August, the plaintiff says she was subjected to sexual advances by employees at the “apex” of the agency’s hierarchy.
