El ex asistente de Randall Emmett afirma en una nueva demanda que tuvo que pagar a prostitutas y traficantes de drogas en nombre del productor de cine.
Martin G’Blae, who is black, worked at the production company Emmett/Furla Oasis for the majority of 2020 and alleges racial discrimination played a role in his termination despite the offensive duties with which he was tasked.
In the suit, filed Tuesday and obtained by Page Six, G’Blae claims his responsibilities ranged from cleaning Emmett’s fish tank to “paying Emmett’s prostitutes and drug dealers.”
G’Blae, 29, also alleges that Emmett, 51, brought cocaine to Puerto Rico while filming “Midnight in the Switchgrass.”
“Emmett had forgotten the code to the safe, so they had the hotel receptionist and a security guard open it. Inside, they found what appeared to be brick of cocaine,” the lawsuit claims.
“The other assistant quickly grabbed it, and they drove back to Emmett, fearing being pulled over and found with a brick of cocaine. When they gave it to Emmett, G’Blae told him forcefully to never put him in an unsafe and unlawful situation like that again.”
The assistant further alleges Emmett enlisted him in an “insurance fraud scam” by asking G’Blae to file a claim for his missing Rolls-Royce, which G’Blae maintains wasn’t actually stolen.
Throughout his tenure, G’Blae says he was a victim of Emmett’s allegedly racist behavior, which he claims ranged from using the N-word when referring to 50 Cent to referring to Cardi B as a “ratchet bitch.”
In response to the suit, Emmett’s attorney, Suann MacIsaac of Kinsella Weitzman law firm, says in a statement to Page Six, “Randall Emmett has never used a racially derogatory term in his life, and Mr. G’Blae knows it. Mr. Emmett looks forward to vigorously defending this action.”
A practicing Muslim, G’Blae also alleges that Emmett acted in a way that intentionally violated his religious beliefs. He claims he was “uncomfortable” being asked to perform certain duties involving poker, as gambling is prohibited in Islam, and told Emmett as much.
“Emmett still requested G’Blae to run poker-related errands for him approximately six more times, knowing it would make him uncomfortable and violate his religious beliefs,” the documents claim.
“Once, in response to G’Blae’s declining to be involved with their poker games, another EFO producer Alex Eckert told G’Blae, ‘We’re not going around asking you to bomb planes, we’re asking you to deal cards.’ On information and belief, he was referring to harmful stereotypes that Muslims are terrorists.”
A rep for Eckert didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
G’Blae is suing for emotional stress damages, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
Emmett — who has children with actress Ambyr Childers and “Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent — has not responded to allegations about his past drug use. However, his then-rep, Sallie Hoffmeister, said earlier this year that he had been sober since October 2021.
