Monet Potter has filed a lawsuit against her former employer, alleging violations of federal labor laws. The complaint was lodged in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on January 27, 2026, targeting Filthy Wealth Clothing, LLC and its owner Reality Laster. The suit accuses the defendants of failing to compensate Potter for all hours worked, specifically between November 8 and November 15, 2025.
According to the complaint, Monet Potter was employed as an hourly-paid store manager at Filthy Wealth from February 2, 2025, until her resignation on November 16, 2025. During her tenure, she claims that she was not paid for all hours worked and was denied overtime compensation as mandated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Potter alleges that despite working over 40 hours per week regularly—overseeing store operations and fulfilling online orders—she did not receive the legally required time-and-a-half pay rate for overtime work. “Defendants knew that Potter worked more than 40 hours a week on a consistent basis,” states the complaint.
The filing further details how Reality Laster allegedly refused to pay Potter her due wages upon her resignation. When she requested payment for her final week of work, Laster reportedly responded with hostility: “F**k you, I’m not paying you and you’ll never get [compensation] unless I disappear.” This refusal forms part of Potter’s breach of contract claim against Filthy Wealth Clothing and Laster.
Potter is seeking multiple forms of relief from the court. She requests compensation for unpaid wages including overtime pay for a period extending three years back from when the complaint was filed. Additionally, she seeks liquidated damages equal to these unpaid wages along with attorneys’ fees and costs incurred during litigation. The plaintiff also asks for pre- and post-judgment interest at the maximum rate allowed by law.
Representing Monet Potter are attorneys Andrew Y. Coffman and James D. Dean from Parks Chesin & Walbert P.C., based in Atlanta. The case is presided over by Judge JPB under Case ID: 1:26-cv-00498-JPB.
