Facts
P worked for D as an executive assistant. Defendants Weisen and Parrilla were Managers and Defendant Hyman was Vice President. P alleges that Hyman, Weisen, and Parrilla subjected her to a continuous pattern of sexually hostile and offensive conduct. P repeatedly objected to the conduct of Weisen and Parrilla, which fell on deaf ears, P brought her objections to Hyman who failed to stop the sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Hyman also subjected P to sexually offensive conduct. P involuntarily resigned her position and filed a complaint and alleged four causes of actions under Title VII, two under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA), and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Ds moved to dismiss Count III against the employees because the PHRA establishes liability solely for employers. P claimed it allowed liability against the employees as well and asked the court to dismiss and not exercise supplemental jurisdiction because it was a novel state claim best decided in state court.
