A second woman has come forward to sue celebrity hotspot Nobu Malibu over alleged sexual harassment and other actions by managers and customers.
A woman identified only as Jayne Doe II filed the latest suit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The legal documents allege sexual assault and battery, gender discrimination, harassment, retaliation, failure to prevent discrimination and harassment, and negligent hiring and supervision.
The latest plaintiff joins a complaint filed on Sept. 13 by a 23-year-old hostess. That plaintiff also alleged that she and her female colleagues were routinely subjected to sexual assault by customers and managers.
