Kelly Stonelake, a former director at Meta, has filed a lawsuit alleging sex discrimination and harassment, claiming the company fosters a "toxic pattern of silencing women who identify problems." The suit details her experiences of retaliation after opposing illegal activities and surfacing concerns about safety in the Horizon World division. Stonelake's complaint also describes specific instances of harassment, including sexual assault by a supervisor. The lawsuit points to a broader culture within Meta where female voices were undervalued and their safety concerns were ignored, contributing to an environment that perpetuated unequal treatment.
Stonelake expressed that she was "the only voice in a room that was not being heard," highlighting the systemic issues women face in leadership discussions at Meta.
According to the lawsuit, even when female employees raised valid concerns about safety and product quality, those concerns were dismissed by an "all-male Horizon product leadership team."
