Too steamy for seamstress: suit
A seamstress for fashion designer Tom Ford says one of her bosses overshared about her favorite accessory — sex toys — while boasting that she “needed sex for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
Yekaterina Angert, 34, who worked at Ford’s Madison Avenue flagship store from June through October, says in a new Manhattan lawsuit that her boss, alterations manager Tatyana Gleyzerman, subjected her “to a barrage of unprovoked inappropriate personal revelations.
“For example Gleyzerman told [Angert] that she was ‘very horny,’ and that she ‘needed sex for breakfast, lunch and dinner,’ ” and that “she owns ‘every sex toy that is possible to own,’ ” according to court papers.
When Angert refused to join in the discussions, Gleyzerman’s “behavior escalated from inappropriate to downright nasty and discriminatory,” the suit says.
Gleyzerman, 54, also told Angert “not to discuss her Judaism’’ because “they don’t like Jews around here,” according to the court papers.
She tried to force Angert to work on Jewish holidays and also yelled at her in front of executives, twice sending her to the hospital with panic attacks, the suit says.
When Angert took time off to deal with the panic attacks she was fired, her suit says.
A spokeswoman for the company told The Post, “We have investigated the claims made and found them to be without merit, and we look forward to vigorously opposing them in court.”
Gleyzerman didn’t return a message.
