Story summary

A Bronx woman has filed a lawsuit against Costco, alleging that she was fired from her East Harlem location in January 2025 after reporting sexual harassment by her female boss, Andrea Mills. According to the complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on October 1, 2024, the alleged harassment began when Mills complained about the accuser’s uniform shirt during a meeting and shouted that she was "a very busty woman." The complaint further alleges that Mills invaded her personal space at work and sang to her that she was “the most beautiful girl in the room.” The lawsuit claims that Mills continued this behavior to force the employee to quit, though it's unclear why Mills would want her to do so.
