"Rhodes claimed that Murphy made a comment that the women and nonbinary employees of the bar were 'overly emotional' and should be replaced with men, because it needs 'more testosterone.'"
"Rhodes said that a week later, she was fired, despite having been told she 'exceeds expectations' at her work in an employee review just one month earlier."
"Rhodes told Philadelphia Gay News that bar owner Chivonn Anderson called the police on her after she asked why she was being terminated."
"Her termination paperwork claimed she was fired 'due to a continued misalignment with the company's operating practices and standards.'"
Marsha's, a queer women's sports bar in Philadelphia, faces allegations of racism and transphobia from former employee Olivia Rhodes. Rhodes accused general manager Rylan Murphy of fostering a hostile work environment, making disparaging comments about female and nonbinary employees, and prioritizing male hires. After raising concerns about staff representation, Rhodes was allegedly yelled at and subsequently fired despite positive performance reviews. Bar owner Chivonn Anderson reportedly called the police on Rhodes after her termination, which was attributed to misalignment with company standards.
