The cases claim that the family companies are responsible for sexual harassment and discrimination by company employees. Both suits name Chan and Zuckerberg as defendants, alleging failure to pay wages, among other claims.

Ben LaBolt, a spokesperson for the Chan-Zuckerberg family, said in an emailed statement that"separate multi-week investigations into the allegations" resulted in a finding that"these allegations could not be substantiated." He said the family office"takes complaints of workplace misconduct very seriously and promptly investigates all such matters."

"Any complaint made to our HR personnel is taken seriously and is investigated and addressed," he said."We are proud of the team of professionals who work in the family office and are confident that these claims, which seek to unfairly disparage our colleagues, will fail."Court filings describe King as a Black woman and member of the LGBTQ community who worked as a"Security Operations Assistant.

Similarly, Doe, an openly gay man, worked as the"Household Operations Manager" for the family from January 2017 through March 2019., King said she was subjected to numerous degrading remarks, including being called"ghetto," a"c---" and"b----," in addition to inappropriate remarks about her breasts. In addition, she alleged that when she brought up her complaints internally, a female colleague told her that"men are in leadership here, men are in power," which King claimed effectively condoned such remarks. She also said she was compelled to work overtime and was not paid appropriately.
