NFL/NBA now have a Donald Sterling problem with Gayle Benson

There may be an explanation for the delay in the filing of the discrimination claims as opposed to the overtime claim. Prior to filing a discrimination lawsuit, you MUST file a claim with the EEOC first. They have time to investigate (although you can request that they release it and let you file a lawsuit). Once the EEOC is done, they will give you a "Right to Sue" letter. It tells the court that you have gone through the EEOC first.

You do not need to file with the EEOC on an overtime claim. Therefore, he could have filed the OT lawsuit, and only just recently received the "Right to Sue" letter from the EEOC.

I don't know if that is what happened or not. Just a possible explanation for the delay in the filing of the discrimination lawsuit.

Based on the facts as I know them, I would not have taken this case on as a Plaintiff's attorney. I would want a recording if possible or some e-mails or text messages. I wouldn't take a he said/she said case on just based on his claims of what she said. These cases can get expensive and that is a big chance you are taking that they will believe him over her.
