The $13.8 Million Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
At 56:01 · chapter starts 55:10
The audacity of Blanche's next move stops Alaina cold. Just one week after initiating sex with district manager Robert Hutton in his office to preserve her extended medical leave, Blanche walks into the law office of Walker Hoy and Kernodle Walker and details a long history of sexual harassment at Hutton's hands. Attorney Douglas Hoy takes the case immediately. In January 1986, Blanche files suit in Superior Court for $13.8 million, alleging four counts each of battery, assault, and inflicting emotional distress, plus invasion of privacy. She describes incidents of Hutton exposing himself, fondling her, and approaching her nude from the waist down in the stockroom, demanding compliance. Hutton had a documented history of groping female employees, which makes the allegations entirely plausible to those who knew him. He is forced to resign. In late 1987, Kroger settles for $250,000.
