Former MLB star Kenny Lofton was accused of exposing a female employee to pictures of his penis and fired another when they complained about it to superiors, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday.

Brandyn Toney, a former employee for Lofton’s Centerblock Asset Management and Proxime Corporation, filed the lawsuit. Toney claimed in the suit a woman whose duties were to monitor Lofton’s Instagram account and direct message activity saw that the former Cleveland Indians outfielder sent pictures of his private area to multiple women on Instagram.

According to the lawsuit, the employee "was subjected to unwelcome exposure by the company’s top executive as a routine part of her job." The female employee was said to raise the issue in February to the in-house counsel and Toney sent his own email in June to raise ire of Lofton’s supposed activity on his Instagram account. Toney claimed that two hours after he raised the issue he was fired.

"Lofton and his executive team thought they could fire our client for objecting to obvious sexual misconduct and even thought they could get away with not paying him for his work," Toney’s lawyer Ronald L. Zambrano said in a news release. "That speaks to the arrogance and dysfunction at play every day at Centerblock and Proxime."

The suit says Lofton’s company, Centerblock, hasn’t paid out any portion of the $85,000 salary Toney was offered when he started with the company.
