Plaintiff accuses former employer Wyndham Travel LLC of discrimination and retaliation

In a compelling legal battle, a former employee has taken her grievances to court, accusing her previous employer of discrimination and retaliation. The complaint was filed by Lineia Solomon in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on February 23, 2026, against Wyndham Travel LLC. Solomon alleges that she faced severe workplace harassment and wrongful termination following the end of a personal relationship with her manager.

The case centers around Solomon’s tenure as a sales representative at Wyndham’s Atlanta-based vacation and timeshare business. During her employment, she engaged in a consensual relationship with her manager, Tony Jones. However, after ending the relationship in October 2023, Solomon claims Jones embarked on a campaign to undermine her professionally and personally. According to the complaint, Jones belittled Solomon publicly, spread damaging rumors about her promiscuity, and obstructed her sales efforts. This hostile environment allegedly led to severe depression for Solomon, necessitating medical leave in 2024.

Despite notifying Wyndham’s management and HR about these issues, no corrective action was taken. Instead, two days after an HR meeting where she reiterated her concerns, Solomon was terminated from her position. The lawsuit contends that this dismissal was retaliatory following complaints of sexual harassment and discrimination based on gender and disability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Additionally, Solomon argues that Wyndham violated the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) by failing to inform her of necessary documentation procedures during her medical leave.

Solomon is seeking various forms of relief from the court: economic damages including back pay; compensatory damages for emotional distress under Title VII and ADA; punitive damages; liquidated damages under FMLA; as well as attorneys’ fees and litigation costs. She argues that Wyndham’s actions have caused significant financial loss and emotional suffering due to unlawful employment practices.

Representing Solomon are attorneys Artur Davis from HKM Employment Attorneys LLP based in Birmingham, Alabama; Jerilyn Gardner from Atlanta; and Regina S. Molden from Molden Law Firm also located in Atlanta. The case is presided over by Judge JPB-JSA under Case ID 1:26-cv-01031-JPB-JSA.
