Earlier today, two of the highest-ranking former female executives of The Source magazine, the self-proclaimed "Bible of Hip Hop," filed charges of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accusing co-owners David Mays, the

Chief Executive Officer, and Raymond "Benzino" Scott, the Chief Brand Executive, of committing gender discrimination, sexual harassment and unlawful retaliation against women at the Company.

The charges were filed by Kimberly Osorio, who was the first female Editor-in-Chief of The Source, and Michelle Joyce, who was the Vice President of Marketing.  According to the charges, female employees were consistently discriminated against on the basis of their gender in favor of male employees, particularly with respect to hiring, promotions, compensation and benefits, working hours and discipline.  The charges also allege that:

    * Raymond "Benzino" Scott has taken virtually complete control over The

      Source from David Mays, and has placed many of his male associates from

      Boston on the payroll who performed no meaningful work and/or did not

      adhere to the same rules, policies and procedures that all female

      employees were required to follow.

    * Scott and Mays have fired or forced out of the Company without cause

      many competent, dedicated and hardworking female employees and have

      replaced them with men.

    * David Mays yelled and cursed at female executives at The Source, whereas

      he would not treat or talk to comparable male employees in such a

      manner.

    * Scott and Mays allowed another male employee to openly utter profanities

Benzino. Other items you may find on Benzino include updates, news, multimedia, chat, links and more. Click here...
