Two More Spitzer Racism Allegations Emerge In A Newly Filed Workplace Discrimination Lawsuit Against Orange County
Tracy Miller, a 29-year-veteran of the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, alleges in a new workplace discrimination lawsuit that in June 2020 Todd Spitzer suggested that a prosecutor be assigned to a case “because she was African-American”. The lawsuit also alleges that during a November 2020 meeting with Spitzer’s executive leadership team, Spitzer said “I need a brown or a black face there” in regards to an upcoming meeting with the NAACP.
Ms. Miller believed that the newly passed California Racial Justice Act required these comments to be turned over to the defense in a capital murder case being prosecuted by the office. Moreover, Ms. Miller believed that the OCDA was required to turn over comments that Spitzer made when discussing that capital murder case with his senior leadership team, allegedly saying that “he knows many black people who get themselves out of their bad circumstances and bad situations by only dating ‘white women’” and adding that while in college, he “knew for sure that this black student did so on purpose to get himself out of these bad circumstances and situations.”
Miller made her concerns about these matters known to Spitzer and other leaders in the office. In return, she alleges that Spitzer “forced her from that position by purposeful and intentional retaliation and by creating a hostile work environment.” The filing of this new lawsuit comes only hours after a new video surfaced that shows Spitzer repeating the N-word three times while giving a keynote speech to a local bar association.
