Citigroup Sued by Former Executive Who Says It Mishandled Sexual ...
Citigroup denies sexual harassment claims and cites prior arbitration agreements as it seeks to move the case behind closed doors in federal court.
- On Jan 27, Julia Carreon sued Citigroup in Manhattan seeking unspecified damages, while the bank petitioned an Austin federal court to move the dispute into arbitration.
- According to the lawsuit, Julia Carreon accused Andy Sieg of repeated public sexual harassment, including a `special song`, and said Citigroup human resources was `weaponized` to force her out.
- The bank pointed to messages showing continued praise as Citigroup told courts there is `absolutely no factual or legal basis` to the claim and noted Carreon’s praise through May 29, 2024 and her June 7, 2024 departure.
- Because Carreon signed Citigroup arbitration policy , the March 2022 Ending Forced Arbitration Act complicates the dispute, and her lawyer Linda Friedman called her `a strong person` who looks forward to court.
- Notably, Andy Sieg, hired 2023 from Bank of America's wealth business and a high-profile recruit of Jane Fraser, is not a defendant, raising reputational questions as the lawsuit proceeds.
