    [Former employee sues Ducks, NHL for harassment, discrimination](https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/47533186/former-employee-sues-ducks-nhl-harassment-discrimination)

    > In the lawsuit, Harris says that Nick Aguilera, formerly with the OCSE public relations team, subjected her to unwanted physical contact and jokes. She also says Aguilera told other PR staffers he and Harris were in a sexual relationship, and those parties made further derogatory remarks to her. Harris also says the Ducks’ equipment managers harassed her with derogatory remarks, with one also allegedly telling other employees that he and Harris were in a sexual relationship.
    >
    > In the filing, Harris says she told OCSE human resources about the alleged harassment and was told “more likely than not” that some of the company’s policies had been breached in these interactions. Per the lawsuit, HR reportedly did nothing to stop them from reoccurring, and Harris eventually resigned in December 2024 before taking another job in IT with the NHL’s front office in New York beginning in January 2025.
    >
    > Harris also says that OCSE conspired to have her terminated by the league. She says that once it was known she’d begun working for the NHL’s front office, someone at her former employer told Patrice Distler, NHL senior vice president and chief human resources officer, that Harris was a “sexual harassment victim and adverse witness to a confidential legal proceeding” against OCSE and the Ducks. That filing was made by Harris’ former colleague Katherine Pearson about Peason’s own alleged harassment while employed in Anaheim.
    >
    > Harris says that after the NHL was informed of this, she was purposely assigned an IT ticket to work on Distler’s email. Shortly thereafter, Harris said Distler accused her of hacking her email and fired her immediately.
    >
    > The suit says the NHL never produced any documentation of the hacking and that Harris’ electronics were all given back to Distler directly.
    >
    > Harris also says that the NHL and OCSE continued to “blacklist” her around the industry and have made it impossible for her to secure employment in the sports world. She is seeking punitive damages.

  2. >Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is hitting Democrats for their stance against the Trump administration’s capture of former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, saying their responses are rooted in partisan politics and hypocrisy.

    He just like consistently is offering up bad takes.
