Online content producer MrBeast’s company wrongfully terminated a female staffer shortly after she returned from maternity leave, the woman said in a lawsuit alleging a sexist culture that pressured her to join a conference call from the labor and delivery room.

The staffer, Lorrayne Mavromatis, said company leadership subjected her to sexual harassment, demoted her after she complained internally about the harassment, and expected her to continue working during her parental leave in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act.

The company, MrBeastYouTube LLC, had no policy for maternity leave and failed to inform her of her rights under the FMLA after she notified a manager of her pregnancy and said she would need to take leave, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
