CLAIM: FEMALE ARCHIE COMICS CEO CALLS MALE EMPLOYEES 'PENIS,' SAYS NOT HARASSMENT
The Archie Comics brand features squeaky clean high jinks and G-rated tales of teen love.
A claim made by several members of the Archie Comics family suggests one of the company's CEOs behaves in a fashion that wouldn't be suitable for its own comics. They alleged Nancy Silberkleit repeatedly called male employees "penis" rather than their actual names, part of a discriminatory atmosphere within the company.
Silberkleit denied the charges and says there's a good reason why she cannot be accused of discrimination--the employees in question are all white men. . . .
