A black woman who was fired as a personal trainer from an Equinox fitness center for allegedly being late 47 times in 10 months, sued for discrimination – and won!
A predominantly white Manhattan jury of five women and 3 men awarded the woman $11.3 million dollars earlier this month.
Röbynn Europe filed a lawsuit against Equinox in 2020 after she was terminated just 10 months into her job as a personal trainer.
Europe says a white employee created a “toxic atmosphere” and made degrading comments about black women.
