A former Esquire exec is suing Hearst, alleging age and gender discrimination

A former Esquire ad executive sued parent company Hearst, alleging sex and age discrimination.

In the suit, filed September 23 in New York State Supreme Court, Lauren Johnson, 52, alleged that while working as integrated ad director at Hearst's Esquire magazine, her boss Jack Essig "regularly mocked" older employees and female workers. The suit mentions four examples of such behavior, including allegations that Essig said a man who worked at Hearst at the time and was then in his late 50s or early 60s looked "tired" and that he was "old" and should "hang it up."

For example, the suit claims, during a meeting in 2018, Essig described Johnson's team as "really f---ing lazy" in front of Johnson's younger male colleague. The same month in 2018, her complaint alleges, the company offered her a lesser job at lower pay, at its Hearst Health division, in retribution for her complaints about Essig.
