Former ESPN employee Adrienne Lawrence sues ESPN after alleging sexual discrimination and harassment

Deadspin

Lawrence, who worked at ESPN for two years through a fellowship program, says in her lawsuit that the HR investigation into SportsCenter host John Buccigross was flawed. Lawrence released a series of texts, including one of Buccigross shirtless, in accusing Buccigross of sexually harassing her. Lawrence also alleges that ESPN is “a company rife with misogyny” where “women are humiliated, degraded, and forced to navigate a misogynistic and predatory culture" and where males openly watch porn and talk about female employees in a degrading way. ALSO: Lawrence's lawsuit alleges that ESPN host Chris Berman left a "racially disparaging" voicemail for Jemele Hill -- which Hill says is not true.
