Latest lawsuit against Alpine Country Club makes more claims of harassment, discrimination

Second Lawsuit Accuses Alpine Country Club of Hostile Work Environment

A second lawsuit has been filed against Alpine Country Club and its food and beverage director, claiming a hostile work environment and harassment against female employees.

Hostile Work Environment Allegations

Dionne Boney said Hannibal Campa would often make offensive jokes about her body, telling her he liked her buttocks and their shape. He also made racist comments that she was working at the club only "to find a rich white man" or a "sugar daddy" and that he "could not believe she got so far coming from the hood," the suit states.

Similar Complaints

Boney, who is Black, is the second former employee to file suit against the country club and Campa. Makayla Spruill filed a similar lawsuit against the club and Campa in December, saying she was also groped by him and subjected to comments about her body and race.

Lack of HR Response

Both complaints allege the country club's human resources department failed to respond to written complaints about Campa's harassment, did not investigate the allegations and refused to take action, leading the women to resign from their positions.

Legal Representation Commentary

Boney and Spruill's attorney, John Zidziunas, said these lawsuits "expose a pattern and practice of the discriminatory conduct by the defendants and by human resources in their gross neglect in responding and stopping these issues."

Boney is seeking a trial by jury and damages.
