Regis Roumila, 46, has sued Christie's International Real Estate and Sarine Atamian, 29, alleging discrimination and sexual harassment related to being fired on December 10.
Roumila's lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court states that Atamian would try to hug and kiss him, despite him telling her he was married and that he was not interested in that kind of attention from any other woman. She's accused of continuously inviting Roumila out for dinner and drinks, getting unnecessarily close to him, finding excuses to touch him and staring at him at 'all hours of the day.'
The lawsuit states Roumila reported Atamian's alleged actions to Kathy Coumou, the executive director and broker of record at CIRE, who is said to have acknowledged Atamian's actions were not appropriate. Coumou is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
A representative for both CIRE and Atamian have said the lawsuit 'is without merit and we will respond accordingly.'
