Full title: Brandi Shakia Smith, Plaintiff, v. Gail Chase, et al., Defendants.
Court: United States District Court, District of Arizona
Date published: Feb 6, 2023
Facts
Freedom Senior Management (“FSM”), which is not a party to this lawsuit, owns and manages retirement communities. In March 2018, Plaintiff, Ms. Brandi Shakia Smith, was employed as a part-time activities assistant at one of FSM’s communities, Thunderbird Senior Living (“Thunderbird”), in Glendale, Arizona. On March 1, 2018, the plaintiff alleges that she made a verbal complaint about the presence of a coworker’s dog in their workplace. Plaintiff claims that after she voiced her initial complaints, this coworker, Ms. Kimberly Romero, a Human Resources Director at Thunderbird, sought to limit Plaintiff’s communication with Thunderbird’s staff “by verbal use of coercive force.” (Doc. 1 at 6.) After that, on March 10, 2018, Plaintiff claimed that FSM’s Arts and Leisure Director, Ms. Valerie Leethip, posted a scheduling change and hired two new Activities Assistants, even though Plaintiff was available for employment at that time.
