Teletubby 149,818 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Jay-Z is set to throw the Oscar-night event in a lounge space on the Sunset Strip hotel’s storied property that was once home to Bar Marmont. There is an ongoing boycott of the property, led by the local hotel workers’ union, over the Chateau Marmont’s alleged treatment of employees. The campaign — which has the backing of Hollywood unions and celebrities and has already put a stop to at least two production shoots — has highlighted claims of racial discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace. Kurt Petersen, co-president of UNITE HERE Local 11,said: “For Jay-Z to choose the Chateau Marmont for their Gold Party is shockingly insensitive.” “They must move their event and choose an after-party hot spot that treats its workers, especially Black women, with dignity and respect. Jay-Z has a responsibility to do better.” The union has initiated plans to organize a picket line outside of the party In 2020, The Hollywood Reporter published an investigation of allegations against the Chateau Marmont. Employees said that the Chateau’s culture of prejudice extended to its treatment of prominent Black and Latino visitors who were stopped, questioned and challenged on arrival at a higher rate than their white equivalents. A representative for Tiffany Haddish confirmed two such incidents. source source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
