Knicks GM Isiah Thomas has been accused of sexual harrassment by one of the team’s former front office employees.
Anucha Browne Sanders claims Thomas made unwanted sexual advances toward her and refused to stop, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan. Thomas and Madison Square Garden are listed as the defendants in the lawsuit, which charges them with sex discrimination and retaliation.
According to the lawsuit, the 43-year-old Browne Sanders sought assistance from her supervisor, Steve Mills, the president of Madison Square Garden Sports, but said Mills didn’t do anything about the situation.
After the news broke, Thomas received some support from his team’s point guard.
“I know Isiah and I know he’s an honorable man,” Stephon Marbury said. “I know that he’s a guy filled with a lot of character, so I think everyone here is on his side.”
Thanks to Stephon for clearing that up.
