"Eversole determined that Richards was a threat to players and the team's image. He ordered her to be added to MSG's facial-recognition database and instructed staffers to perform an open source 'work-up' on her."
"Richards was targeted 'because of her gender identity,' according to the suit filed by former MSG security staffer Donnie Ingrasselino. Employees who were forced to conduct the surveillance were often uncomfortable, as they believed it to be a clear act of profiling."
A lawsuit claims that a transgender woman, Nina Richards, was monitored for two years at Madison Square Garden using facial recognition technology. The head of security, John Eversole, deemed her a threat to players and the team's image, leading to her inclusion in the venue's surveillance database. The lawsuit alleges that Richards was targeted because of her gender identity, and former staff members expressed discomfort with the profiling practices enforced by security management.
