Looks like Cindy Barshop, of the Real Housewives of New York has a mess on her hands. Though racial discrimination is difficult to prove, the fact that none of her employees at her Completely Bare salons are black will be used against her.
from the Daily Mail (uk)
The beauty chain owned by Real Housewives of New York star Cindy Barshop has been accused of racial discrimination after a former employee claimed she was bullied and eventually fired because she is black.
The Completely Bare spas are as famous for their risqué ‘vajazzling’ services as they are for their famous owner.
But Altovise Collier claims she was only hired by managers at the Fifth Avenue flagship to ‘inject some color’, according to a complaint filed with the state Division of Human Rights.

But Altovise Collier claims she was only hired by managers at the Fifth Avenue flagship to ‘inject some color’, according to a complaint filed with the state Division of Human Rights.
The 25-year-old, who is a licensed aesthetician, told the New York Post how she relocated to New York from Atlanta in March to take the job.
She says she applied online and was interviewed by phone, and did not meet her employers in person until she arrived for her first day of work.
She said: ‘They were very impressed with me – until they saw me.’
Miss Collier said that she was the only black woman among the staff, and was subjected to verbal abuse from Ms Barshop as well as around 50 other employees.
She also claims that she was not trained properly, which lead to customer complaints.
She continued: ‘I was treated like trash and thrown in the gutter, damn near sleeping in the streets.
‘Everyone treated me badly, like I was in some sort of sorority hazing.’
She added that the company also underpaid her, only handing over about half of her $700 weekly salary, and as she was paid in cash, she lacked the payslip proof required to rent an apartment.
As a result, she claims, she was forced to sleep on friends’ couches.
Her lawyer, Lenard Leeds, said: ‘From day one, she wasn’t given the same training, she wasn’t given the same money.’
Ms Barshop has denied all charges. She told the paper that Miss Collier was fired ‘because of the quality of her work.’
