The New York Post acquired several documents from the court case that outline one former employee’s accusations of racist and misogynistic comments in the workplace.

FFO partner Alan Kufeld allegedly made several offensive comments in front of his staff.
For example, he once said that singer Rihanna is “hot” because she is “not too dark” according to court documents.

To add to the list of grievances, Kufeld apparently gave a “monologue on what Caribbean nationalities were the most attractive based on skin tone.”
And while discussing the attractiveness of his former assistants, he decreed that one had apparently “lost points in his eyes because she was too dark.”
Ex-Flynn marketing head Robert Solomon, 42, is suing the company for wrongful termination after he objected to the way they spoke about women and minorities in the office.


None of the firm’s high profile clients have yet to comment on the lawsuit.
