Designer & Fashion Insiders Behavior (PLEASE READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING)

But also, how can there be a right or wrong with how someone being mistreated reacts to the injustice by a work superior?
So you're saying any reaction to abuse is justified? There is no right or wrong way to deal with abuse? Are you saying that once the "victim" label has been applied, this person can do no wrong? And all of their subsequent actions are now justifiable?

And yes, you're right. It does take courage to stand up for yourself. And courage is rare and admirable trait. I don't think it's correct, however, to call what this man is doing "courageous." Taking all this abuse, waiting it out, talking to lawyers (BUT NOT TALKING TO HIS BOSS), and then BAM! Million Dollar lawsuit filed...sure. That's really brave and courageous.
 
There’s a kid in the popular group, who after getting bullied or witnessing the main kid of the group bully others, stands up for himself and the others, risking his social status for the sake of doing the right thing. He confronts the bully and addressed the conflict and the issue head on. He doesn’t sit around and wait to “gather evidence.” He does what is right at the moment, he does the hard thing - sparing himself and others further abuse - AS WELL AS giving the bully an opportunity to see their fault, and potentially reform their ways.

In this analogy, the kid then gets their head bashed in by the bully cause the bully doesn't give a f*ck.

I'd like to quote the great miss Catherine Zeta-Jones here, she had it coming. If you're going to mistreat your employees based on their sexual orientation (or any other reason for that matter, honestly), you deserve to be played and sued. Of course he didn't just leave the job immediately, who would? He probably worked hard to get the job he wanted and once he finally got it he came face to face with an ***hole in power. Surprise, surprise. The article implies that Ericson tried to go against his boss with another colleague, which only resulted in further degradation. What was he supposed to do? Beg his bigot of a boss to stop being a disgusting swine in the place of work?
He did the right thing and he should sue her for everything she has. I genuinely hope he wins for the sake of all LGBTQ people who endure similar mistreatment in their workplace. It's not okay and will never be okay, no matter how ''tough'' you think life's supposed to be. We are usually so focused on the awful men in power that we forget women can be monsters too.

It's not about courage, it's about the justice. It's payback time and she doesn't deserve to get away with her discrimination and disrespect. We don't live in the 70s anymore, insulting gays for being gay is no longer acceptable and she got her *** handed to her. He did exactly what he was supposed to.

I should have been more specific. What I meant is that there is no right or wrong with how someone emotionally reacts to abuse.

And we really do not know whether he confronted his boss or not.
 
Personally I am in favor of lawsuits that make the world a better place, and this one has the potential to do that. The woman he's suing is behaving like it's 1947, this type of discrimination is wrong full stop, and she needs her card punched with the current date and time.
 
You will justify anything a "victim" does
Who says i will justify "ANYTHING"? He's suing her, he didn't burn her house down or kidnap her family. What's wrong with the following scenario : person A does (allegedly) something illegal to person B, person B tries to talk to person A to correct her misbehavior, person A persists in her illegal behavior against person B, person B sues person A?
someone was mean to me, give me a million dollars
What you consider as "being mean" is considered as serious abuse by other people; but what you and I or someone else consider to be not-abuse, light-abuse, serious-abuse etc., in the grand scheme of things, doesn't actually hold any weight, what actually is important is that there is legal behavior and illegal behavior and, according to Californian laws (California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code §12940 et seq.), what Cristina (ALLEGEDLY) did to Ericson is illegal. That's it.
Then we can bicker and fight about how and when the lawsuit was forwarded to Cristina : MAYBE you're right and Ericson is an horrible person and he is just trying to get money or fame and screw over poor old Cristina or MAYBE, as other users said, he is sincere in his actions because it's not easy standing up for yourself while in a situation of abuse and all that jazz. But that's all just pure speculation that won't lead to anything constructive in the context of this forum . The lawsuit verdict will (maybe) shed light on his "motives" but until then i suggest we stop arguing about this particular aspect of the affair.
 
And of course she is glamorous gold digger from Moscow. Threre are always russian speaking homophob parades under kiss photos
 
^^^ He should absolutely stand up for himself against her supposed homophobia— (…Didn’t research what she said exactly. Nor care to. Once people resort to behaving like trash to take out trash, I lose interest). Ridiculing her by stooping to her level of ignorance and claiming she’s too poor to afford his garbage is pathetically juvenile. But why am I not surprised, since this brand is the definition of overpriced generic mall garbage for 15yos.

Maybe you should first read into it before passing judgement. It was not "supposed" homophobia, it WAS homophobia what she said, after he posted a picture of him and his boyfriend kissing.

While you could argue about his comment, I don't see it as a way of saying "she is too poor", he was making a joke after being insulted online, which I don't think is that strange.
 
^François Ruffin directed documentary movie Merci patron! about Bernard Arnault.
Translated by google from le monde:
Let us recall the facts. LVMH called on the services of Bernard Squarcini, former central director of domestic intelligence, to monitor, spy on and infiltrate the newspaper Fakir, to collect personal data on Fakir members, including journalist François Ruffin, and to obtain a copy of the documentary Merci patron! which was being filmed. These are therefore particularly serious acts in a democratic society, violating freedom of expression and information and respect for privacy.

Let’s say she was inexcusably mean/rude/disgusting in her homophobia in the worst possible way.

HIs response remains juvenile/mocking/dismissive, instead of holding himself to a higher standard than hers (or at the least, a professional standard since he’s a tad well known and not just a random queen on the cesspool of Insta). What happened to being a better man (isn’t he in his 30s…)? But I get it— yaaaasss queen clout and all that.
