Deborah Cooke and Christina Rodino charge in a Manhattan federal suit that their beefcake bosses at David Barton Gyms made them the butt of gay jokes and called each of them a “f---ing dyke." In addition, Cooke was asked if she "was going to strap on a penis tonight."
As if those two comments weren’t enough to file a lawsuit, Cooke also recounted that one of her supervisors saved her number under the name of "Dyke Cooke” in his phone.
The gym said it terminated the women because they were working with outside clients, but Cooke and Rodino argue that straight employees who similarly trained non-members weren't disciplined.
Cooke and Rodino also say they were replaced by straight trainers with less experience.
