TALLAHASSEE -- A woman is suing a former employee for discrimination due to religious beliefs.
Brandi Robinson filed a lawsuit on Oct. 27 in Leon County Circuit Court against the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation for religious discrimination, disability discrimination and retaliation.
According to the lawsuit, Robinson was an employee for Defendant from April 2016 as a Management Analyst II until her wrongful forced resignation on Nov. 1, 2017. Robinson alleges being discriminated against by Supervisor Bonnie Deering and Chief of Staff Michael Yaworsky due to being Agnostic.
Robinson alleges that Defendant's employees would ask about her personal life, interject God into conversations, advise her to date Christian men and told to resign as a termination would look poor on her record.
Robinson was allegedly caused to suffer being treated differently due to her religious beliefs, hostility, poor treatment, abusive and offensive work environment and forceful termination.
Robinson seeks equitable relief, general and compensatory damages and economic loss, an enjoinment of Defendant for future violations and interest. Robinson is represented by Marie A. Mattox in Tallahassee.
