TMZ first broke the story on Friday, saying that Lane Hirsch had repeatedly witnessed members of Isaac’s tour crew verbally harassing two female roadies with sexual comments. Hirsch alleges that he spoke to Isaac on a number of occasions on the situation but nothing was done and, when word got back to the crew, Hirsch was called numerous homophobic names by tour manager Tim Lamb and other members of the crew.
Subsequently, Hirsch was fired without notices and is suing the parties for wrongful termination, defamation and discrimination.
