In the complaint, Happe accuses Bullock of firing her because she made two posts on Refugees in Gaza; another article refers to refugees fleeing Gaza after the Hamas attack on 7 October. She used ableist language and denigrated trans people when referring to gender-neutral restrooms. Both were produced by pseudonymous accounts.
The lawsuit alleges that her unlawful firing violated Bullock’s own employee speech policy and “several constitutionally protected freedoms, including freedom of thought, worship, expression, and expression and association,” as neither post mentioned Bullock, who posted the two posts in her personal time, “voluntarily deleted” them within days of posting.
According to the lawsuit, Block’s human resources department said they received reports about Happe’s posts. When Bullock obtained the deleted posts and showed them to Happe, she denied making them and “claimed that an abusive ex-boyfriend must have impersonated her online.” Bullock fired Happe days later. She claims Bullock fired her without severance simply because she “expressed her political views, opinions, or beliefs in a satirical manner,” which Bullock disagrees with.
