Playboy Radio show's ex-producer sues for sexual, racial harassment

Washington, Sept 20 : Terri Hughes, a former producer for the Playboy Radio show "Night Calls", has filed a lawsuit against her former employers for subjecting her to a sexually and racially hostile environment.

Hughes claims that during a live, three-hour broadcast, she was repeatedly asked to enter the studio and wax the buttocks of co-host Christy Canyon.

The ex-producer further revealed that Canyon created a hostile work environment by her actions.

"She was exposing her genitals and breasts to co-workers, making requests to guests and co-workers to touch her genitals and breasts and masturbating herself with her own hands as well as with various sex toys during live broadcasts of 'Night Calls'," Fox News quoted Hughes, as telling TMZ.

Hughes, who is African-American, further revealed how when the host of another Playboy show, who was also an African-American woman, asked to have Hughes to work on her show, the executive producer of Playboy Radio made a racially insulting comment.

"I don't know how to say this, and it might offend you, but I'm just going to say it anyway - no Negro shows," the executive producer said.

Hughes is seeking unspecified damages.
