Elizabeth Kramer, a former managing editor and arts and special projects editor at the alt-weekly, has filed a suit alleging that she was subjected to a hostile work environment and sexual harassment. Kramer would not comment to the Courier-Journal, nor would editor Stephen George or former editor Cary Stemle. Kramer, who worked for LEO from September 2003-November 2007, is asking for compensatory damages for physical, emotional and mental distress, as well as compensation for lost wages and other employment benefits.

Democratic state delegate Joseph D. Morrissey has filed a $10.35 million libel suit against Style Weekly for an article the alt-weekly published last April about the politician's finances and related legal battles. The suit, which seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages, names Style's parent company, TWCC Holding Corp., along with editor Jason Roop and the story's authors, Amy Biegelsen and Chris Dovi. When contacted on Monday by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Roop said he hadn't seen the suit and therefore couldn't comment on it.
