‘MEAN GIRLS’ SUED
Bullied me: male exec
Lindsay Lohan’s got nothing on these “Mean Girls.”
Two Taiwanese sisters who run a sexylingerie and superherocostume company bullied a male manager — making fun of his hair loss, yanking out his chair when he sat down, and taunting him with antiSemitic gibes, he claims in a lawsuit.
Ron Chalhon, 53, said the women made his life hell during his four years as territorial manager in New York for the LAbased Leg Avenue Inc., which peddles erotic outfits that include SWAT Bombshell, Kitty Vixen, Firehouse Hottie and Feline Femme Fatale.
“They’re a bunch of villains. It seemed I was the punching bag for them,” Chalhon told The Post of creative director Melody Tsai and her sister, chief marketing officer Amy Tsai. “They tried to destroy my reputation.”
In one act of humiliation three years ago, Chalhon sat down at a steakhouse with 50 other company employees during a tradeshow trip to Houston — but there was nothing but air beneath him, the court papers say.
“Amy thought it was funny to pull the chair out from under me as I tried to sit down. I fall down and hurt my back. I fell down on my butt,” Chalhon bitterly recalled.
“Amy was laughing. She thought it was hysterical. I guess some of the others were laughing and some were shaking their heads. I was like, ‘What the hell is going on?’ ”
Melody allegedly struck again at a meeting in California attended by managers and sales reps.
“One time, we were in the middle of a meeting in California and she made a comment to me how I was losing my hair. I felt horrible,” Chalhon said.
The Taiwanese sisters also made antiSemitic remarks toward Chalhon, who is Jewish, said the court papers, filed by lawyers Matthew Blit and Justin Clark.
They allegedly snarled, “Fking Jews are always looking for money,” and “It’s a bad time to be Jewish” just before Yom Kippur, the papers say.
Chalhon was fired from his position in October without ever receiving a warning, the documents say.
An attorney for Leg Avenue did not immediately return a call for comment.
