A former employee of the Trump National Golf Course<\/a> in Bedminster has filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. <\/p>\n

Maria Hadley, a former member of the club\u2019s events team and a banquet server, filed a lawsuit Monday in New Jersey Superior Court. <\/p>\n

Hadley, who said she voted for Donald Trump three times, claims that women working at the club were required to wear uniforms several sizes too small and were subjected to other forms of misconduct.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit names the Trump National Golf Course, club manager Patricio Neira, general manager David Schutzenhofer and several others associated with the golf course, including some identified only as John Does.<\/p>\n

The 18-hole golf course is located in the affluent town of Bedminster in Somerset County.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old president handed the business over to his sons<\/a> Donald Jr. and Eric in 2017. Since then, it has been managed by the two brothers under the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. <\/p>\n

When Hadley started working for the club, she alleges was given polo shirts and golf skirts that were a child\u2019s size, according to the lawsuit. When she approached Neira about the issue, he refused to give her larger sizes and said: \u201cIf they don\u2019t fit, you don\u2019t work,\u201d the lawsuit alleges. <\/p>\n

In a separate incident, Neira mocked a male employee for being \u201chomosexual\u201d and made a sexual gesture in front of him, the suit alleges. <\/p>\n

Hadley says detailed some of her allegations in a series of Instagram messages to Eric Trump in September of last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not want the President that I believe in and voted for each time he ran to be shown in a bad light or lose face,\u201d one of the messages said. \u201cI am absolutely incensed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The messages were never answered, according to the lawsuit. <\/p>\n

The suit accuses men in positions of power at the club of trying to get underage workers drunk, referring to teenagers as \u2018sexy,\u2019 and retaliating against employees who spoke out about the misconduct.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit also accuses the clubhouse bartender of serving alcohol to minors and making sexual comments about guests as young as 12 years old. <\/p>\n

The suit alleges that when Hadley raised some concerns with management, they retaliated against her by cutting her hours, giving every employee except her a $1,000 bonus and instructing other employees not to speak to her. <\/p>\n

When Hadley tried to report these actions to human resources, she was ignored, according to the lawsuit. Hadley eventually resigned from her position. <\/p>\n

Neither a spokesperson for Trump National Golf Club nor the law firm representing Hadley, McOmber McOmber & Luber, P.C., could be reached for comment Monday evening. <\/p>\n

In spring 2025, the golf club was cited for 18 health violations<\/a> during an inspection by the Somerset County Department of Health. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former employee of the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster has filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-404856","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
