In a recent court filing, Deja Kendall has brought a lawsuit against Newnan Senior Housing Limited Liability Company, alleging racial discrimination and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 1981. Kendall claims that during her employment as a cook at Monarch House, she was subjected to discriminatory practices, including fluctuating pay rates without justification, racially segregated work environments, and retaliatory termination after raising concerns about these issues. The complaint highlights incidents where Black employees faced harsher working conditions compared to their white counterparts, such as being forced to work in an unairconditioned kitchen while white employees received better treatment and higher pay. Kendall seeks damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages due to the alleged willful discrimination by the defendant.
