The former SpaceX director claims to harass, revenge and security violations in the lawsuit

The former Spacex Security Director, who was familiar with the secret information on the US government’s programs, is sued the company and one of its senior employees with his alleged discrimination, sexual harassment, and revenge.

Gina Shomawi, who was promoted to senior security officials after her appointment in 2022, claims that the higher employees – Daniel Collins, a former official in the Ministry of Defense, who was appointed to the Security Compliance Department of the company’s government work – violated higher secret protocols and then concealed this information from the government.

Shumway, collins and Spacex lawyers did not respond immediately to order Techcrunch to comment.

Collins presented the news in December 2024 Matthew The New York Times reported Spacex was under the federal review of dirty security protocols. Collins stopped reporting security clearance violations and allowed executives without appropriate permits in secret meetings, according to the New York Times. The New York Times found that these allegations and other allegations raised at least three federal reviews of the company’s security procedures.

according to Shomawi complaintShe was transferred to the position of director who was eventually appointed Collins without giving the opportunity to apply for it. “The work environment has changed completely,” when Collins was appointed as superior in the spring of 2024, according to the complaint. Shomway claims that Collins has actually launched a campaign of harassment against her, which included stripping her responsibilities over months, which led to her end in October 2024.

Collins’s harassment also extended to other employees, as she claims the complaint. Discrimination included the prevention of female female employees from carrying out required security work, and it is claimed that preparing them for non -compliance, and staring at the chest of one employee during a meeting, and asking a affiliated employee if she wants to “gather together” on drinks after work.

Shomway and other female employees have repeatedly reported Collins to Spacex, according to the lawsuit. The company ignored these complaints, as the case claimed, and no action has been taken yet to indicate that the employees avoid being alone with Collins. Shumway is looking for unlimited damage.

This is not the first time that Spacex is prosecuted due to allegations that it allows sexual discrimination. Previous lawsuits claimed similar stories about bias against female employees and an enemy work environment that enabled gender -based harassment. The company is also fighting investigations by the Civil Rights Ministry of Civil rights and the National Council for Labor Relations due to similar claims.

The lawsuit was filed in late May in the Los Angeles Upper County Court; He was later transferred to the Federal Court on June 30 at the request of Spacex. It is submitted at the Central Central Provincial Court in California under Case 2: 22-CV-05959.
