CNN: “Court tosses ‘Friends’ lawsuit”

Link to article.

The California Supreme Court today decided that profanity and “sexually course and vulgar language” in the workplace is not automatically grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit if not directed at a particular employee.

From the article:

“The record discloses that most of the sexually coarse and vulgar language at issue did not involve and was not aimed at plaintiff or other women in the workplace,” Justice Marvin Baxter wrote.

Baxter added that it “was a creative workplace focused on generating scripts for an adult-oriented comic show featuring sexual themes.”
