Jeff Bezos Faces Lawsuit From Former Housekeeper Who Claims She Worked Long Hours & Faced Racial Discrimination on the Job
Jeff Bezos is being sued by a former housekeeper.

Mercedes alleged that she worked long hours and faced racial discrimination on the job. Some shifts ran as long as 14 hours reportedly. Additionally, she claimed that housekeepers had to take great steps to access bathrooms that they were allowed to use during their time on the clock.
She also detailed alleged racial discrimination that she faced from those responsible for managing Jeff’s home.
“Labor and employment laws say working people must be paid for the work they perform, and must be able to to perform that work in a safe, sanitary and healthy workplace,” one of Mercedes’ lawyers told the outlet.
After being let go, she is seeking pay that she says she is still owed and damages.
Harry Korrell, one of Jeff’s attorneys, responded to the allegations in a statement shared with Bloomberg. “We’ve investigated these claims, they have no merit, and we’ll defend against them,” he said via email.
He added that Mercedes was let go for “performance reasons” and denied allegations of discrimination.
