Rose Harris worked in the Ducks' IT department from July 2022 to December 2024 and filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York alleging discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation by the Ducks and the NHL. The complaint alleges repeated and unchecked sexual harassment, bullying, and discrimination, including nonconsensual sexualized touching; vulgar, sexist, and homophobic comments; obscene pornography on a colleague's computer; and degrading remarks about how women dressed. The filing names Ducks parent company OC Sports & Entertainment and NHL HR chief Patrice Distler as co-defendants. Harris alleges male coworkers spread false stories about sexual encounters with her and claims the NHL manufactured a reason to terminate her after she reported the conduct to human resources. Harris seeks unspecified damages, attorney fees, and other costs and expenses.
