Tom Benson's former personal assistant, Rodney Henry, says Benson's wife repeatedly harassed him on the job and made racially derogatory remarks before having him kicked out of the Saints organization, according to a court filing Tuesday (Jan. 19).
Henry in 2014 heard Gayle Benson say, "I hate that black son of a bitch and am going to get rid of him," according to the filing, among other incidents described in the lawsuit.
Henry, who was at billionaire Tom Benson's side for 25 years until last June, filed a federal lawsuit against the Saints in November claiming he was owed back pay for long hours in the job.
