NEW ORLEANS -- A longtime personal assistant to New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans owner Tom Benson alleges that Benson's wife, Gayle, racially discriminated against him, harassed him and ultimately pushed him out of a job last year.
Rodney Henry, who worked for Tom Benson for about 25 years, added the allegations against Gayle Benson in an amended lawsuit that was filed in federal court on Tuesday and published by NOLA.com. Henry had previously sued the Saints last November, seeking years of back pay and unpaid overtime he felt was owed to him.
