New York (CNN) A former Sony Electronics employee is suing the company and several individuals, accusing her former boss of sabotaging her career and making racist, verbally abusive comments. The woman filing the lawsuit, Duwanikia "Monica" Hill, who is Black, says she was fired from her role as an account manager after she filed an abuse complaint against her boss earlier this year. A Sony spokesperson said the company does not comment on confidential personnel matters, but that diversity, equity and inclusion are "core" to the company. "We always take complaints seriously and investigate properly and thoroughly," Sony spokesperson Rosemary Flynn Smith told CNN Business via email. "We hire all of our employees with a committed focus to their success."
