L.A. Reid sued for sexual assault and harassment by former Arista Records executive

Music executive L.A. Reid is being sued for two instances of sexual assault from 2001 while he was CEO of Arista Records.

After the trip, Dixon says she tried her best to maintain a positive work atmosphere “without succumbing to Mr. Reid’s sexual advances,” some of which allegedly included late-night calls and requests for hotel room meetings.The suit claims that the music exec “began to grope and kiss Ms. Dixon” without her permission once more, and she “squirmed and pushed him away.”

“In my case, his persistent campaign of sexual harassment and assault forced me to abandon the work I loved when I was at the top of my game in the music business, having worked my way up from internships and a job as a receptionist.”She is suing Reid more than 20 years after the alleged assaults under the Adult Survivors Act, a look-back passed in New York last year that allows civil lawsuits to be filed by any sexual abuse survivor who was above the age of 18 when their alleged abuse occurred.
