WASHINGTON — The TIME’s UP Legal Defense Fund is supporting a federal lawsuit filed today by former MrBeast executive Lorrayne Mavromatis, who alleges she endured years of sexual harassment, gender bias, and retaliation by senior leadership at the social media company, including by “MrBeast” himself, Jimmy Donaldson.

In her complaint, Mavromatis describes a workplace culture in which harassment of women employees was normalized and complaints were dismissed. She says she was terminated after raising these concerns to her employer and taking maternity leave.

“Abusive workplaces rely on a persistent lack of accountability. We see this pattern frequently, where those with influence and power are allowed to harm others and retaliate against those who decide to speak up,” said Jennifer Mondino, senior director of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund at the National Women’s Law Center, which supported media assistance for this case.

“Lorrayne has been extraordinarily brave in coming forward, and we hope she is granted a measure of justice and healing. We are in a collective fight to address a longstanding culture of harassment that relies on entrenched silence and shame. Today is a reminder that the strength of survivors is a force to be reckoned with, and we are proud to stand alongside Lorrayne.”
