TMZ is reporting that former American Idol finalist, Mario Vasquez is being sued by a former male employee on American Idol for sexual harassment.
Apparently Mario is accused of trying to masturbate in front of a male employee in a bathroom on the set of the hit show in February 2005.
In the lawsuit, Olmos claims “Vazquez stared lasciviously, smiled lasciviously … and on one occasion followed him into a bathroom … knocked on the door of the plaintiff’s stall and made eye contact through the space in the stall door.”
The lawsuit alleges that Vazquez “started to rub his genitals over his pants. Attempting to leave the bathroom, Olmos opened the door of the stall and saw Vazquez standing in front of him with his pants down masturbating.”
According to the documents, Vazquez pushed Olmos “further into the stall and continued masturbating with one hand and trying to pull down Olmos’ pants with another hand.”
Olmos claims that he tried to “cover his body with his hands” but Vazquez touched his “chest and stomach underneath his shirt, and Olmos’ “genitals” as Vazquez “attempted to unzip” Olmos’ pants.
Vazquez then allegedly asked Olmos “if he wanted oral sex.”
In the lawsuit, Olmos claims that as he “managed to get out of the stall, and attempted to leave the bathroom,” Vazquez, grabbed his arm “in an effort to stop him.” Vazquez continued to call Olmos to come back as Vazquez “stood in the bathroom with his pants still down.”
In the suit, Olmos claims that he tried to report the incident to a superior named Eric LaPointe, who allegedly responded by telling Olmos that “he was crazy” and “repeatedly threatening to fire” him. A few months after the incident, Olmos claims he was “terminated.”
For some reason Mario left the show shortly after the alleged incident. I wonder why???
Now, I am not sure about you, but the guy does not look that tough. If someone was coming at me while I was in the toilet, I am bloody sure there is no way he would get his hands anywhere near my genitals. I mean, the guy only had one free hand, how hard difficult could it have been to fight him off…..
