Riot Games say they’re investigating the allegations
O’Donnell’s suit says that she complained about Laurent’s behaviour to Riot Games' HR department, and alleges that her termination related to those complaints.
In a statement, Riot Games said they were investigating the allegations.
“Our CEO has pledged his full cooperation and support during this process, and we’re committed to ensuring that all claims are thoroughly explored and appropriately resolved.”
Riot Games denied that O’Donnell’s firing related to her complaints to HR about Laurent. “One subject we can address immediately is the plaintiff’s claim about their separation from Riot. The plaintiff was dismissed from the company over seven months ago based on multiple well-documented complaints from a variety of people. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
O’Donnell’s complaint also alleges that she was not paid for all the hours she worked, including overtime, and was not given meal breaks. If true, the suit claims this would be a violation of “the California Labor Code and the applicable wage orders”.
Riot Games told Vice that Laurent continues to work as normal while the investigation is ongoing. You canread the full complaint at the bottom of their story.
