New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is accused of using vulgar, abusive language toward female employees and fostering a culture of sexism at his hedge fund, according to a gender discrimination complaint unsealed and revealed to the New York Times.
The Times reported on the complaint on Tuesday in the latest of a pattern of allegations of sexism against his Point72 Asset Management hedge fund. Cohen purchased the Mets in September in the shadow of separate complaints of hostility toward women at Point72.
The complaint revealed on Tuesday was filed by former Point72 portfolio manager Sara Vavra, who was fired in October 2019. Vavra accuses Cohen of belittling her in front of her colleagues via an “an abusive, expletive-ridden tirade” while using a derogatory word for a woman’s genitals, per the Times.
