This week, Catherine Corcoran filed a lawsuit against the producers and director of Terrifier, the infamously gory horror series, alleging grueling working conditions, breach of contract, and the distribution of sexually explicit materials without consent. In the suit, which was filed on Sunday, Corcoran, who starred in the first film, alleged an "all-too-common story of low budget film producers taking advantage of a young actress through fraud, sexual harassment and, ultimately, betrayal."

Black Rabbit 's third episode opens up on the moment Vince Friedken let his dream slip through his fingers. Another flashback, this time in the immediate aftermath of Vince daring a drunken employee to jump from the roof to a neighboring fire escape, paralyzing the man and leaving the Rabbit to pay out half a million dollars. For his part, Vince gets a $100,000 buyout to exit the Rabbit, which is just enough to lose after a run of careless dice rolls and bad hands.

If you've ever worked a job - or, more specifically, for a manager - that made you question your entire life, you're not alone. Recently, u/gargoyle_dream asked, "What's the most hilariously awful thing an employer has ever said to you?" The responses were equal parts unhinged, infuriating, and, honestly, horrible to the point of hilarity. So, here are some of the most jaw-dropping things people have actually heard from their bosses:

In 2011, Joey La Neve DeFrancesco had been working in room service at a luxury hotel in Providence, Rhode Island, for nearly four years, whisking delicacies on demand to guests' rooms, when he reached breaking point. He was paid a measly $5.50 (4) an hour, made to work punishingly long shifts and, to top it off, had managers taking a cut of his hard-earned tips. The poor treatment ratcheted up after DeFrancesco and colleagues tried to unionise workers at the hotel.

Busta Rhymes has been accused of physically assaulting his former assistant, Dashiel Gables, who claims he was punched for being on the phone in January.
