Three women who settled with the owner of the famed The Spotted Pig over sexual harassment claims want to buy the site where the closed Manhattan restaurant stood and open their own eatery
Trish Nelson is one of 11 former employees who settled with Ken Friedman and told Vanity Fair this week she wants to buy the building with two others, who have asked to remain anonymous in order to not jeopardize their current jobs. "To be able to take over that particular space and turn it into a Stonewall Inn for women and the working class -- I think it would be an important iconic space for our country to have," Nelson told CNN.
'Ground zero' for sexual harassment in the industry Nelson said it would be symbolic to open a female-owned restaurant at the site of The Spotted Pig, which she considers"ground zero for sexual harassment in the restaurant industry." Attorney General James found that the restaurant"maintained a hostile workplace where numerous female employees were subjected to severe and pervasive incidents of unwanted touching and unwelcomed sexual advances.
