Quote of the Day

Sexual harassment is never okay. Okay? Never. BUT SOMETIMES it’s kind of funny. Like this accused case of sexual harassment in a restaurant in Bronx’s City Island that is so over the top and the quotes are so hilarious that, well, I defy you to not get joy out of this.

A manager at one of City Island’s best-known seafood joints was slimier than an eel, subjecting a waitress to a barrage of offensive comments, including a come-on to “turn my shrimp into a lobster,” court papers allege.

According to a lawsuit filed today in Bronx Supreme Court, waitress Rosemarie Ferranti, 28, was fired after she complained about the treatment her supervisor, Lanni Liapis, subjected her to at the Lobster Box on City Island Avenue.

“It’s all true. He ruined me,” Ferranti told The Post today.

“He grabbed his penis and said, ‘Come over here. I want you to turn my shrimp into a lobster,” the court papers say.

Ferranti also claims another female employee joined in and Liapis told them to have sex and he would join in.

“Can I have some fun with you?” the woman asked, while grabbing Ferranti’s crotch, the suit alleges.

Liapis also allegedly told Ferranti, “All women belong on their knees.”
