"Rhodes asserted in an Instagram post, 'Marsha's may claim to be a queer safe space, but it is nothing like that.' She described the bar's environment as quickly developing a bad reputation among marginalized staffers."
"Rhodes accused the bar's general manager, Rylan Murphy, of creating a hostile work environment by disparaging women and staffers of color, stating that Murphy claimed women and nonbinary employees were 'overly emotional' and should be replaced with men."
"Management allegedly commented derisively about Black music, calling Megan Thee Stallion 'ghetto' and 'too Black' for Marsha's, while suggesting white artists to feature instead."
Marsha's, a women's sports bar in Philadelphia, faces serious allegations of transphobia and misogyny after the firing of Black staffers. Olivia Rhodes, a former manager, publicly accused the bar of fostering a hostile work environment. Rhodes claimed that the general manager made derogatory comments about women and staff of color, and that management criticized the music she played. Despite a positive performance review, Rhodes was terminated shortly after raising concerns about representation among staff, with management citing misalignment with company standards as the reason for her dismissal.
