Ex-NFL Player Settles Harassment Suit Against Celeb-Backed Startup for Just $50K
A former NFL player’s discrimination and sexual harassment suit against a Paris Hilton-backed metaverse startup has settled for $51,456, the company says.
As The Daily Beast reported, Teyo Johnson accused Everyrealm co-founder Janine Yorio of pressuring him into playing “sexual harassing ‘games,’ spreading rumors about his sex life, and referring to him using slurs like “the whitest Black person.”
But in June, Yorio filed a libel suit against Johnson over a Twitter video in which claimed he “wasn’t offered equity [in Everyrealm], while similarly situated white employees were.”
