A
pregnancy discrimination lawsuit has been filed against former WeWork CEO Adam
Neumann. The lawsuit was filed by Neumann's former chief of staff, who says
she was harassed at work because of her pregnancy. The plaintiff alleges her
pregnancy was referred to as "a problem" that needed "to be fixed" by WeWork's
chief legal officer. Further, Neumann called the plaintiff's maternity leave
"retirement" and "vacation." This is the second gender discrimination lawsuit
filed against WeWork.

Springs Shooter Rejected by Dick's, Bought Weapon at Academy, According to
Wife |
| |
In an
affidavit provided to a group of local families who are suing Academy Sports +
Outdoors, Danielle Kelley wrote that her husband, Devin Kelley, tried to
purchase a rifle from a Dick's Sporting Goods store in New Braunfels in late
2015. At the time, the couple lived in Colorado, where high-capacity magazines
are banned, and her husband presented an ID from that state, so the manager
turned him away, she said. A few months later Kelley purchased a rifle at an
Academy store in Selma, TX. Kelley's affidavit marked a win for the Sutherland
Springs families suing Academy. They claim the retailer's employees broke
federal law by selling an out-of-state resident a magazine banned in his state
of residence, accuse the retailer of gross negligence and seek damages for
physical and mental anguish, disfigurement and medical expenses.
