A leading lower Manhattan women’s rights lawyer watched porn at his desk, discussed his “pierced genitalia” and wears a “slave” collar at work as part of a sadomasochistic relationship with his girlfriend, a shocking sex-harassment suit alleges.
It was filed today in Manhattan Supreme Court by former office manager Lisa Brockington.
Brockington, 40, told The Post that Tuckner hired her at Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser after representing her in a prior job discrimination suit. But he’s really a “chauvinist masquerading as a woman’s advocate,” she said. She is suing both Tuckner and his firm.
During her two-year tenure at the firm - which she quit in January - he called her “Aryan babe” and “the ultimate shikse so highly coveted by inner-city Jews” and verbally abused female staffers to the point of tears, the suit said.
The ex-manager claims Tuckner revealed he met his girlfriend, Mia Metzger, on an S&M Web site. He had a computer screensaver that “included a photo of Mia Metzger dressed as a dominatrix with Tuckner dressed in black and kneeling at her feet.”
When Brockington used Google to search Mia Metzger’s name, she found a Web site ad in which Mia Metzger wrote: “I am a Dominant Woman with a long-term male slave. I seek to add a female service oriented slave to our family,” and also “a man who is interested in partnering with me in a cuckold relationship.”
When Tuckner told her to monitor his BlackBerry, the suit said, Brockington saw a message “from Metzger telling Tuckner that she needs him to sleep at her feet in restraints.”
Mia Metzger is now a “client-liaison” at the firm.
In addition to once telling Brockington “that he had numerous tattoos and body piercings, including pierced genitalia,” Tuckner “wears a bondage ’slave’ collar in the office,” and was regularly seen viewing porn and “fetish sites” on his computer, the suit said.
Brockington’s lawyer, employment-law maven Louis Pechman, said, “It’s unbelievably ironic that a lawyer who purports to vindicate the rights of women is accused of such demeaning and outrageous conduct.”
Tuckner’s lawyer David Berlin said of Brockington’s suit, “There is absolutely no truth to the allegations … and these irrational and untrue charges are a reflection of the person bringing the charges.” Â
