Marlon Brando in The Godfather |
HOLLYWOOD - Marlon Brando's former business manager is suing the late actor's estate forsexual harassment and wrongful termination.
In a lawsuit filed on April 4, Jo An Corrales of Kalama, Washington,
claims that she was subjected to a hostile work environment and that Brando
exposed his genitals, touched her inappropriately and insisted she watch porn
films with him.
The suit demands 10 per cent of the $5 million in residuals
that Corrales claims Brando received during the time of her three-year
employment, which ended in 2004.
In December, Corrales filed a claim, a precursor to the lawsuit, seeking
$3.5 million, but it was rejected by Brando's trustees, says
David J. Seeley, a lawyer for Brando's estate.
In the lawsuit Corrales claims Brando subjected her to sexually graphic
stories "including several documenting his sexual escapades with minors over
the years".
Corrales also alleges that in the two years before the actor's 1 July death, she and other women were called derogatory names and subjected to sexual innuendoes. She also claims that she was removed as co-executor of Brando's will 12 days before he died.

Meanwhile, Corrales has also accused the late Hollywood
legend of boasting about his experiences sexually abusing children.
The allegations against The Godfather star, who died last year, appear
in a $506,00 lawsuit filed against Brando's estate on April 4.
Corrales claims Brando relished telling her grotesque stories about his
molestation of children. She also alleges he exposed his genitals to her,
touched her inappropriately and insisted she purchased and watched pornographic
films with him.
Her lawyers explain, "Brando derived pleasure from sharing sexual
exploitation stories. He revealed his deepest and darkest secrets to her.
"Brando once asked her, 'What is your problem Jo An? Do you think you're some
snowy white virgin? F**k that. Don't put on that act with me."
The suit demands 10 per cent of the $5 million in residuals
that Corrales claims Brando received during the time of her three-year
employment, which ended in 2004.

$3.5 million, but it was rejected by Brando's trustees, says
