Street gets a very bad rap om a former employee who claims all sorts of nonsense was gog on there. San Shellogg, a massage therapist/athetician/reflexologist, filed <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a lawsu agast the Rsian and Turkish Baths</a>; the Sun reports Shellogg says she was fired "bee of her genr and her refal to nsent to clients' sexual mands, and retaliatn for plats about sexual harassment and a hostile work environment she ma to the bathhoe's owners." Eep. And the Post has some of the crazy tails:</p><blockquote><p>Her urt papers say that when she plaed to the boss "that male employe openly fondled male ctomers durg treatments open mon areas," they told her was "good for bs" and "the gays were brgg all the money." Only men were allowed on Sunday morngs, which was referred to as "Gay Day" or "Ssage Ft," the su says, wh male employe and clients beg "urged and enuraged to engage homosexual activy."</p><p></p><p>Co-workers felt ee to sexually harass clients, and would often "accintally" barge when Shellogg was "performg profsnal and private treatment on unclothed young women" and "stare, lgh and behave a sexually aggrsive, suggtive, appropriate and unfortable manner," the su says. </p></blockquote><p>Shellogg is lookg for a ol $100 ln damag. </p><p></p><p>The <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rsian and Turkish Baths</a> have been around sce 1892 - there's even a rtrant. Bathhoe -owner Jack Shapiro, who Shellogg acc of watchg pornography "on a laptop puter an open mon area at the ont sk," <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nied the charg to the Post</a>, llg her, "nuts, pletely nuts."
