Taco Bell Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Misconduct at Holiday Party

Former employee claims witnessing open sex, excessive drinking, and alleges retaliation after reporting the incident.

Alana Bechiom, a former employee at a Taco Bell in San Pedro, California, is suing the restaurant chain and franchise owner, alleging she witnessed excessive drinking and open sex at a holiday party in 2022.
Bechiom reported the incident to Taco Bell’s human resources department and the franchise owner, leading to the termination of the supervisor and two other employees involved in the incident.
Following the report, Bechiom claims she received threats from Taco Bell employees and her car was vandalized.
Bechiom alleges that Taco Bell and the franchise owner failed to take appropriate action, creating a hostile work environment that led her to resign.
Bechiom is seeking a trial by jury and monetary expenses for attorney fees, claiming emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment, and financial losses.
