The cause? Greene’s choice to not perform a topless sex scene on set. We previously discussed the potential breach of contract in this situation, but there are other issues, such as workplace harassment, that we should touch on.
Greene claims she was “bullied into performing nude scenes, sexually harassed and placed in a dangerous work environment” during the filming of an episode of “Femme Fatales” for Cinemax.
To better understand this situation, it is important to become aware of the two types of unlawful harassment:
To violate harassment laws, conduct must be unwelcome and based on the victim’s protected status. Secondly, the conduct must be subjectively abusive to the person impacted and objectively severe and pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive.
There is no telling where this case is headed, but if Greene is able to prove the above criteria she could be able to recoup damages from Time Warner’s HBO division.
