Ex-Bucks owner Marc Lasry subject of sexual misconduct suit

Gina Strum, a private equity executive and attorney, sued billionaire investor Marc Lasry on May 8, 2025, in New York Supreme Court for sexual misconduct and retaliation.
The lawsuit arose after Strum rejected Lasry's advances and reported misconduct, alleging a pattern of grooming, harassment, and retaliation spanning over 15 years.
Strum claims Lasry exploited his CEO role at Avenue Capital Group, using personal disclosures and emotional manipulation to create a predatory environment and condition her career on tolerating his demands.
The complaint details repeated unwanted physical contact, a coordinated smear campaign against Strum, and an alleged sexual assault incident in London over a decade ago that provides context for ongoing power abuses.
Strum's lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages and accountability for misuse of power, while Avenue Capital responded by filing defamation claims, aiming to silence her protected complaints.
