N.J. hospital fired CEO over naked art
-
The former CEO of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton is suing the facility, alleging he was wrongfully terminated over a living art body painting exhibition displayed during a fundraising event.
Richard Freeman, who filed the lawsuit late last month in New Jersey federal court, was fired in late June for “allegedly intentionally violating the (hospital’s) sexual harassment policy,” according to the suit.
The hospital, according to the suit, claimed Freeman didn’t stop the living art body painting exhibition — in which women had works of art painted on their naked bodies — from taking place at the hospital foundation’s fundraising event on June 3. It was the foundation’s seventh annual We v. C “Under the Italian Sky”-themed event held at Glenmore Farm in Hopewell, the suit says.
Freeman, however, disputes that claim, alleging in the suit that he “had no involvement in planning the event or authorizing the exhibition, and was barely aware of it when he arrived.” The suit notes that there were more than 40 people — whether affiliated with the hospital, its foundation, or RWJBarnabas Health — involved in the planning and approval process.
