Creator of “The Simpsons” Matt Groening is being dragged into court… as he is being sued for an alleged sexual assault involving two people who worked for him and his wife.
Based on a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a lady named Giavanna Scotto claims she worked as Matt’s house supervisor at his Santa Monica estate just a few years ago, and says complaints about sexual harassment by a co-worker were not taken seriously.
In her bathing suit, Scotto alleges the sexual harassment began early in her tenure … she says a co-worker aggressively grabbed her butt and breasts and kissed her on the mouth multiple times … all without her consent, she alleges.
What’s more, Scotto claims that the same co-worker bombarded her with inappropriate text messages… saying things like “hi honey,” “miss you,” “miss you so much, love you, hope you’re okay, love you, love you,” and “love you, as is our son.”
She claims her co-worker was not fazed by her lack of response… and she says she “felt persecuted.”
In the documents, Scotto claims he complained to Matt and his wife, Agustina Picassoabout the alleged sexual assault and harassment… however, she claims that the couple “did not take applicable corrective action” and that “Picasso clearly knew about the harassment and failed to act.”
Scotto says the lack of movement only emboldened her alleged harasser… and she says he continued the same habits through the end of his tenure and beyond. She claims Matt and Agustina fired her immediately in June 2022, without warning or cause.
Matt and his wife are being sued for failing to prevent sexual harassment and failing to prevent sexual assault and battery — among other causes of action for infringement of rights.
We’ve reached out to Matt’s group… so far, no response.
