| An “American Idol”, Mario Vasquez Sex Scandal |
The show ”American Idol“ and former Season 4 finalist Mario Vazquez are being sued by an ex-employee named Magdaleno Olmos. The former assistant production accountant brazenly alleges that he was fired for complaining of sexual harassment, stemming from a sexually charged bathroom incident.
Looking back, Vazquez left the show two seasons ago for personal reasons, telling Access Hollywood at the time, “It has nothing to do with my family, nothing with me being sick, nothing like that. Basically there will be lots of hearsay on certain things,” he added.
The hearsay which Vasquez spoke of is now coming to light, when Olmos filed court papers in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Vazquez of harassing him and “Idol” of letting him go for reporting the issue.
The AP has reported that “Olmos claims Vazquez followed him into a bathroom, and opened the door to a stall the “Idol” worker was in. Olmos further accuses Vazquez of having touched him in a “sexual” way and asking the worker if he wanted oral sex.”
Olmos insists that he complained to a supervisor but was told “that he was crazy, was imagining this and should keep this information to himself because no one would believe his account,” CNS reported.
Olmos is suing for wrongful termination and violation of the state’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. |
