Insane Clown Posse’s former publicist and lawyer is suing the Detroit, Michigan-based hip hop group and its record label, citing wrongful termination, harassment, retaliation, and emotional distress.

The plaintiff, 32-year-old lawyer Andrea Pellegrini, who worked as an employee of the group’s Psychopathic Records for three years, described her work environment as hostile and rife with sexual harassment. According to Atty Pellegrini, the alleged abuses began in 2009 when she started work at the record company.

TMZ lists the following examples of the alleged abuses:

• In 2012, a Psychopathic Records employee named Dirty Dan told Atty Pellegrini that he had a huge sex organ and that he wanted to have sexual intercourse with her.

• In July 2012, after breaking up with her boyfriend and soon after changing her Facebook status to “single,” Dirty Dan offered her a clear dildo and told her that she might need it now that she’s single.

• On that same day, Atty Pellegrini alleges that Dirty Dan offered two female officemates with “vagina tighteners.”

• In August 2012, during the Gathering of the Juggalos, Atty Pellegrini was told that she could not use the private restroom and was instead forced to use the restrooms that were, more often than not, full with “naked male strangers.”

Famous for supernatural and horror-themed lyrics, Insane Clown Posse, formerly known as the JJ Boyz and Inner City Posse, insists through their lawyer that the allegations are untrue.
