Bre Tiesi, infamously known for her relationship with Nick Cannon, is facing severe allegations of inappropriate work behavior and violence.
In court documents obtained by The Blast, three of her ex-employees claim the Oppenheim Group’s newest agent is as problematic off-camera as she is on the show’s set.

Bre Tiesi Dragged To Court By Three Former Employees

The lawsuit was filed by Lucy Poole, Amanda Bustard, and Kenneth Gomez, whom the document referred to collectively as the plaintiffs. Ms. Poole primarily served as Tiesi’s nanny while sometimes acting as a personal assistant and house cleaner.
Meanwhile, Ms. Bustard was the entertainer’s social media manager, and Mr. Gomez acted as her personal assistant and stylist.
During their time with Tiesi, the trio claimed they were not only verbally abused but also suffered numerous acts of violence that violated the California Labor Code and the California Fair Employment.
“Plaintiffs bring this action against Defendants for the continuous, pervasive, objectively, and subjectively offensive harassment they were forced to endure during the time of their employment,” the document alleged, adding:

“Among other things, Plaintiffs were harassed, discriminated against, and/or retaliated against on the basis of their sex, gender, and/or sexual orientation, and for having repeatedly reported and demanded cessation of the harassing, discriminatory, and retaliatory conduct.”

According to the documents, Tiesi’s former employees claim they were unjustly fired after months of enduring harassment, discrimination, and threats of physical violence. The sudden termination of their employment, coupled with the alleged abuse, pushed them to file the lawsuit.
“Plaintiffs suffered severe emotional distress, loss of earnings, and loss of employment benefits, among other things,” the documents stressed, noting they “are entitled to general and special damages, statutory damages and penalties.”
Additionally, the filing claimed that Tiesi’s ex-employees deserved compensation for “punitive damages, prejudgment interest, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other appropriate relief for Defendants’ unlawful conduct.”

That wasn’t all; the plaintiffs supported their case with allegations about Tiesi’s behavior while on Netflix’s hit series “Selling Sunset.” They alleged that her fame on the show, coupled with her growing media influence, had negatively influenced her personality.

The Realtor Allegedly Has A Reputation For Trouble

Tiesi, per the documents, had developed a reputation for trouble thanks to her fame. She was accused of “instigating dramatic and explosive confrontations with colleagues” — a claim that seemingly referred to her outspoken nature on the Netflix show.
Fans of the show may recall that Tiesi has been a force to be reckoned with, as she is never afraid to speak her mind. This strong personality led to what happened to be a heated blowout in the season’s finale, but that isn’t what the lawsuit is focused on.
Instead, the media personality’s former employees highlighted her alleged hate for the LGBT community and tendency for verbal abuse. Ms. Poole claimed she frequently referred to other employees, people, and coworkers as “f-ggots, c-nts, and r-tards.”
The woman alleged that due to her mental disability and affiliation with the LGBT community, Tiesi berated her with cruel words like “short bus riding b-tch, ADHD id-ot, and dodo head.” She would also say that her child was not going to grow up to be a “f-ggot.”

The plaintiffs wish to have their legal showdown with Tiesi before a jury and are asking for millions in compensation. The trio demanded that each of them be awarded at least $1,000,000 for their financial losses.
They also want $2,000,000 each to cover “compensatory and general damages, including, but not limited to, pain, suffering, and emotional distress.” Their demands continued with $250,000 each for statutory damages and another $250,000 for restitutionary damages.
The plaintiffs asked Tiesi to cough up $250,000 for civil penalties, liquidated damages, and relief allowed under the Labor Code. They also requested that she cover their attorney fees, which may amount to $500,000.
Bre Tiesi Was Previously Involved In A Lawsuit Over Her Miscarriage

The violation of labor code allegations comes four months after Tiesi settled a lawsuit over the car accident that caused her miscarriage. The Blast reported that she had reached an agreement with Keshunna Latrice Parker, the culprit behind the tragic incident.
Tiesi sued the woman for negligence, claiming she failed to operate her vehicle in a “safe and reasonable manner.” Parker allegedly rear-ended her car on Burbank Boulevard, near the Warner Bros. Studios lot in 2021.
The accident, per the TV personality, caused severe property damage and personal injuries, including “the loss of an unborn child,” “pain and suffering,” as well as “costs of past and future medical treatment.”

It was unclear what their settlement entailed; however, the court documents noted that Tiesi’s case against Parker would be dismissed upon the “satisfactory completion of specified terms.”
