Suit calls ex-WeWork CEO Adam Neumann sexist pothead

By: Richard M.

WeWork’s ousted chief executive, Adam Neumann, has been slapped with an explosive pregnancy and gender-discrimination suit.

Brought Thursday by Neumann’s former chief of staff, Medina Bardhi, the suit notes Neumann’s “penchant for bringing marijuana on chartered flights and smoking it throughout the flight while in the enclosed cabin.”

Neumann’s mile-high pot habit ultimately forced Bardhi to tell him she was pregnant sooner than she wanted to because she “obviously could not expose her unborn child to marijuana smoke,” according to the suit.

On learning of Bardhi’s pregnancy, Neumann not only disparaged her, but also replaced her with a male paid “nearly three times her salary,” the suit claims.

Filed with the New York District Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the complaint notes that Neumann exited with “an extravagant” golden parachute that has been calculated at $1.7 billion.

Bardhi, meanwhile, left WeWork “picking up the pieces barely six months after giving birth,” the suit states.

For years, other WeWork women fared no better, the suit alleges.

“Female employees are demeaned for taking maternity leave, excessive alcohol consumption fuels offensive sexual conduct towards women, and where it is common for women to be paid less than their male colleagues,” according to the suit.

Neumann could not be reached for comment. WeWork, which was also named in the suit along with its chief legal officer, told The Post that it “intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim.”
