Bre Tiesi sued by former employees who claimed she ‘harassed’ them, caused ‘emotional distress’
Bre Tiesi has been sued by three of her former employees who claim the “Selling Sunset” star “harassed” them and caused them “emotional distress.”
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Lucy Poole, Amanda Bustard and Kenneth Gomez filed a suit against their former boss in a Los Angeles court last Thursday, alleging they were subjected to “continuous, pervasive, objectively, and subjectively offensive harassment” during their time working for the real estate agent, whose legal name is Breana Tiesi-Moran.
“Plaintiffs were harassed, discriminated against, and/or retaliated against on the basis of their sex, gender, and/or sexual orientation, and for having repeatedly reported, and demanded cessation of the harassing, discriminatory and retaliatory conduct,” the docs read.

After leaving their positions, Poole, Gomez and Bustard claim they “suffered severe emotional distress, loss of earnings, and loss of employment benefits, among other things.”
Poole â who worked as a nanny for Tiesi and Nick Cannon’s 1-year-old son, Legendary, and âsuffers a mental disabilityâ â claimed in the lawsuit that she was called several names by the reality star, including a âshort bus riding bitch,” a “dodo headâ and an âADHD idiot.â
Poole alleged in court docs that Tiesi, 32, treated her in a âvulgar and violentâ manner âif a task was not performed to her satisfaction” and forced her to throw away things in her son’s closet that could “be construed as feminine or girly.”

Tiesi “told Ms. Poole that her child was not going to grow up to be a ‘f—-t.’ Ms. Tiesi-Moran stated these things while knowing Ms. Poole was a member of the LGBTQ community,” the suit read.
Bustard, who worked as Tiesi’s social media manager, claimed in the suit to have also been âsubjected to inappropriate and violent behavior by Ms. Tiesi-Moran.â
Bustard claims the mom of one “screamed” at other employees in her presence and allegedly threatened them with physical violence by saying things like, âIâm going to kill her” and âIâm going to slam her head against the wall.”

Tiesi allegedly refused to pay Gomez after he would “oppose” her derogatory remarks “and unlawfully terminated him in April 2023 after he complained about not receiving his wages.”
Bustard also claimed Tiesi “used offensive and inflammatory names” when referring to her employees such as âf—-ts,â âr—-d” and âc–t,” according to the lawsuit.
Gomez, who worked as Tiesi’s assistant and stylist, is also described as âa member of the LGBTQ communityâ in the filing.
âMs. Tiesi-Moran would repeatedly make derogatory and demeaning comments about members of the LGBTQ community,” he claimed in the suit.
The plaintiffs are seeking more than $4,250,000 million each for damages. bre_tiesi/Instagram
