'Jersey Shore' Star Angelina Pivarnick Sues FDNY Over Alleged Sexual Harassment by
The lawsuit claims, "The sexual harassment that Pivarnick experienced included repeated and unwelcome sexual advances, degrading comments about her body, vulgar sexual comments, inappropriate questions about her private relationships and, in one instance, the groping of an intimate part of her body without her consent." During this time, Pivarnick claims she was sexually harassed by Lt. David Rudnitzky, who had supervisory authority over her. "Rudnitzky frequently made sexual comments to Pivarnick, both in front of Pivarnick's co-workers and when no one else was present," the lawsuit alleges. The document states that in April 2018, Pivarnick filed a complaint regarding Rudnitzky's alleged sexual harassment with the FDNY's Equal Employment Opportunity Office. Pivarnick claims in the suit that because she came forward to the FDNY with her allegations, she has since received retaliation from the fire station.
