A former Peloton instructor is suing the personal fitness company for $1.8 million, alleging he was wrongly dismissed and that it created a hostile work environment.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Daniel McKenna, also accuses Peloton Chief Content Officer Jennifer Cotter of directing ethnically offensive remarks at McKenna, who is Irish.
More specifically, the complaint cites one instance in which Cotter introduced Peloton CEO Barry McCarthy to the fitness instructors. In McCarthy's presence Cotter turned to McKenna and said, "I hope you're not drunk Daniel," the lawsuit alleges.
