The metaverse company Everyrealm and its CEO, Janine Yorio, are being sued by three former employers who allege discrimination and harassment.
The CEO of a New York-based metaverse company has been accused of sexually harassing a pair of African-American subordinates — including a former NFL player who claims she subjected him to bizarre come-ons and prodded him to have sex with co-workers.
Yorio told Johnson that “the way to pay the game” was to “get laid by a co-worker on a business trip,” the lawsuit alleges. She then allegedly asked him if “he would be doing any KYP.” Johnson was “taken aback” by Yorio’s suggestion and “politely informed her that he was ‘already really close with someone’,” the lawsuit states.
Johnson, whose job required managing celebrity accounts including Hilton’s, “was horrified that in order to carry out his job duties he was made to listen to the derogatory commentary and sexually harassing nickname” from Kerr, the suit claims. Johnson, whose says his sports connections include an “active business relationship” with former NBA star Yao Ming, claims that his proposal to forge a relationship between Everyrealm and the NFL was intentionally sabotaged by Yorio and her executive team as revenge for his blowing the whistle on the crypto scheme.
Everyrealm, a “metaverse technology and infrastructure company,” received $20 million in venture capital from Andreessen Horowitz. The Silicon Valley firm didn’t respond to requests for comment. An Everyrealm spokesperson told The Post: “These allegations are absurd. This former employee worked remotely, and Mrs. Yorio only interacted with him a few times on video calls,” according to the company rep.
