Disney Cruise Line is being sued by a former employee, who claims he worked in a hostile work environment and that the company discriminated against him because he’s a man and because of his age.
51-year-old Anthony McHugh, who worked at the Disney Cruise Line office in Celebration, said he was repeatedly passed over for promotions in favor of younger women, according to a federal lawsuit.
McHugh claims she referred to him as a “stuffy old fart.” He also said his female manager would tell him about her sexual exploits with married fellow employees.
Disney released a statement Thursday afternoon saying the claims in the lawsuit are without merit and they will address them in court.
