A high-profile lawsuit is rocking the real estate industry, alleging a married CEO attempted to orchestrate the dissolution of an employee's marriage with extravagant financial offers. The civil complaint, filed in Los Angeles, accuses the chief executive of The Real Brokerage of a campaign that ultimately destroyed the aide's family.
The suit claims the executive, while himself married, offered the female employee $500,000 in cash and the deed to a $3 million home in Encino, California, on the condition she leave her husband. These alleged propositions were reportedly made over a period of several months. The plaintiff states the CEO's "persistent and unwelcome" advances created an intolerable work environment, leading to severe emotional distress and the eventual collapse of her marriage.
Legal documents describe a pattern of behavior where professional meetings were used to push personal agendas. The executive has denied the allegations through his legal representation, calling the suit meritless. The case has drawn significant attention for its severe personal allegations intertwined with professional misconduct claims, putting corporate leadership and workplace boundaries under scrutiny. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress and wrongful termination.
