Jay-Z’s nightclub 40/40 is facing yet another lawsuit.
A former sales associate of the 40/40 Club named Folake Ogundiran has filed a lawsuit claiming she was fired because her pregnancy was considered “inconsistent’ with the “young, fashionable, unattached, and sexy” image preferred for employees .
Ogundiran’s lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court says that a female supervisor reacted to her baby news by saying she couldn’t run a business “like this” and telling her not to bother showing up for work the following day.
When Folake tried to report for work two days later, she says she was “barred from entering the workplace” and denied unemployment benefits, according to the lawsuit.
She’s suing for discrimination, but it’s unknown how much she’s seeking in damages.
In May, the club was sued for not paying minimum wage to its waitresses.
