Former Employee Alleges Pregnancy Discrimination Against Nightclub Operators

A Georgia woman claims she was unjustly terminated from her job after revealing her pregnancy, sparking a legal battle over alleged discrimination. Nomcoba Hinton filed a complaint on November 26, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Mirza Investment, Inc., doing business as Mirza Lounge, and Royal Sahara, LLC, doing business as Sahara Lounge.

The case centers around Hinton’s employment experience following her pregnancy announcement in April 2021. Employed since July 2020 across three locations owned by Nav Kamal—Privacy Lounge, Miami Lounge, and Mirza Lounge—Hinton alleges that her work schedule was drastically reduced without justification after disclosing her pregnancy. On July 1, 2021, she received a text message from Kamal stating she was “off the schedule until further notice,” with Kamal later justifying this decision by saying “the club can’t be liable for any injuries that may occur.” Hinton argues that this amounted to an effective termination without any prior disciplinary action or negative performance reviews.

Hinton’s lawsuit accuses the defendants of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. She contends that these actions were discriminatory and retaliatory based on her pregnancy and related medical conditions. The plaintiff seeks various forms of relief including back pay, front pay, lost benefits, compensatory damages for emotional distress and medical expenses, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees.

Hinton also claims that Club Miami LLC attempted to evade liability by dissolving its operations and continuing under Mirza Investment Inc. and Royal Sahara LLC. Both entities are described as successors to Club Miami LLC due to their continuation of substantially similar business operations and management structures.

Represented by attorney Jeffrey Del Rio from Morgan & Morgan P.A., Hinton is determined to hold the defendants accountable through a jury trial. The case is identified under Case No.: 1:25-mi-99999 in front of Judge TWT-LRS.
