Tameika Dorman, former BET producer, files lawsuit against network alleging she was fired because she became pregnant and complained about "pervy" cameraman.
Tameika Dorman, a former Black Entertainment Television (BET) producer, has filed a lawsuit against the company alleging she was fired because she was pregnant and after she complained about working with Derek Clarke, a 'pervy' cameraman, during an interview with rapper Nicki Minaj last November.
In a lawsuit filed at the Bronx Supreme Court, Miss Dorman claims her bosses told her she wouldn't have to work with him again after he allegedly filmed up her miniskirt the previous year.
She accuses him of sexually harassing her when the pair were working together on a show she was producing and hosting in February 2009.
Miss Dorman claims they were editing the program together when he kept repeatedly showing her the footage, taken as she walked up the stairs in a short skirt. In the suit, her lawyer claims: 'During this editing session, Clarke subjected Ms Dorman to acts of sexual harassment by repeatedly re-playing video footage of her rear-end.'
According to the lawsuit, when Miss Dorman asked him why he kept replaying the video, he 'grabbed and repeatedly rubbed his crotch, began to moan, and said it was because he loved her butt, that she was sexy and that she did not know what he was going to do to her.' Source
We'll see how this plays out. I don't watch BET. I tried to watch Mo'Nique and gave up on that because she's entirely too ghetto for me. Seems a little hypocritical, if true, that this woman was fired because she was pregnant. The image the network projects is pure ghetto and a misogynistic one that continues to denigrate women. I'm sure most people aren't surprised the company has been sued for harassment.
