World famous snowboarder Shaun White is being sued by the former drummer of his rock band. The woman claims she has several years of graphic text messages that prove White was sexually harassing her.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Lena Zawaideh claims White sent her a number of disturbing text messages that show the “darker, misogynistic personality” of the two-time Olympic gold medalist. White formed his band, Bad Things with White, back in 2008 and Zawaideh was fired after a tour in 2014.
Here are some of the alarming allegations Zawaideh has made against White:
Among the allegations, Zawaideh claims White sent her sexually explicit and graphic images of “engorged and erect penises” and forced her to watch sexually disturbing videos “including videos sexualizing human fecal matter.”
One of the videos Zawaideh claims she was forced to watch was a couple killing a bear and then having sex on top of it.
She also claims White forced her to watch “Church of Fudge” — a hardcore porn “involving a priest, a nun and fecal matter.”
At one point, Zawaideh claims White stuck his hands down his pants, approached Zawaideh, and then “stuck his hands in her face trying to make her smell them.”
Zawaideh also claims White ordered her to cut her hair a certain way and wear sexually provocative outfits while she was in the band. TMZ has screenshots of some of the disturbing exchanges White and Zawaideh allegedly had.
White has always been incredibly popular in the world of extreme sports because of his ability to pull off tricks like this, but some of his fans will certainly look at him differently after hearing the sexual harassment allegations.
