We’d never heard of Jon Peters before today, but we’ve already decided we don’t like him. Several lawsuits piling up against him seem to indicate that he is definitely not someone we’d ever want to assist. From TMZ:
According to documents, Adriana Silveira says she was hired in December of 2005 to work at Peters’ Malibu home and office. She says she discovered she was pregnant in June of 2006 and was immediately put on one week of bed rest by her doctor because of the precarious nature of her pregnancy. She says she asked Peters for the time off, but got canned instead. She then claims two weeks after she was let go, Peters told her husband Andrew, who was also working for the producer, that his wife should have an abortion if he “wanted to keep his job.” When she and her husband refused to terminate the pregnancy, Silveira says Peters then fired her husband by e-mail.
In the other suit, Blanca Hernandez says Peters hired her in July of 2005 and “systematically sexually harassed [Hernandez] on nearly a daily basis.”
She claims Peters touched her on the “breasts and buttocks and waist”, tried to push her into bed while he was naked, called her breasts “pillows” and asked “her to have sex in exchange for money.” Hernandez says when she complained in July of 2006, she was axed. She says she was told if she reported Peters to authorities said “her and her daughter would be murdered.”
