A Manhattan woman claims she and her boss knocked boots throughout the posh Upper West Side gym La Palestra.
Kasey Dexter, 32, says La Palestra manager George Peters gave her a job as a personal trainer in May 2012 only “because he was attracted to her,” according to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court last month.
“Peters would ask [her] to have sex with him on various pieces of exercise equipment and training tables at La Palestra,” according to the lawsuit. “Her ability to become a regular trainer at La Palestra in the future was contingent on her submission, or refusal, to have sex on certain pieces of gym equipment.”
A lawyer for the gym said Peters was the real victim.
Peters was issued an order of protection against Dexter after she directed hundreds of calls and e-mails at him, lawyer Michael Miranda said. “This is a frivolous lawsuit,” he said.
