The lawsuit, filed by former Bloomberg L.P. employee Sekiko Sekai Garrison, alleged that Bloomberg referred to Garrison’s baby and told her to “kill it,” according to the New York Times. Garrison’s lawsuit also alleged that Bloomberg grumbled, “Great, no. 16,” which the complaint said referred to the 16 pregnant women in his company, the Times reported in 2001.
Garrison also alleged that Bloomberg subjected women in his company to “repeated and unwelcome” sexual comments.
Bloomberg, who is the former mayor of New York, is reportedly pondering joining the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
