"Nobu Malibu Faces Lawsuit for Sexual Harassment and Discrimination"

A hostess at Nobu Malibu has filed a lawsuit against the restaurant and a former supervisor, alleging sexual assault, battery, gender discrimination, and retaliation. The lawsuit claims systemic sexual harassment within the workplace, failure to protect employees, and assault by the former supervisor. The plaintiff seeks at least $500,000 in damages. Nobu Malibu has faced previous litigation over similar allegations. The lawsuit alleges that the company encourages flirting with customers, requires hostesses to wear revealing uniforms, and fails to enforce policies protecting employees. The plaintiff and other hostesses claim to have reported the advances to management, resulting in the termination of the supervisor.
