New York Times hit with another gender discrimination suit

A former New York Times ad executive claims she was belittled — and eventually let go — after taking the four-month leave of absence she was entitled to after having a baby in 2014.

Arielle Davies, 33, said the Times pressured her to take less than four months’ leave, and her manager, noting her weight gain, told her she looked like she “drank a few beers,” according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan federal court.

Davies was hired in July 2013 as the Times’ director of advertising products and was responsible for launching the paper’s native advertising campaign, the suit claims.

The ad executive told the Times in January 2014 that she was pregnant. Her work was praised by her managers as meeting or exceeding expectations, the suit claims.

Davies told her bosses that she was entitled to the four months of leave.

“The good news is, you’re right, you found a loophole in our policy,” Terel Cooperhouse, the Times’ director of occupational health, told her, according to the complaint. “The bad news is, we’ve now changed the policy so you’re still not entitled to it.”

On Oct. 1, while still on maternity leave, Davies was told that her position had been eliminated after a reorganization — but claims in court papers that she was the only person in her department who was laid off.

“She had one of the most successful products in terms of digital revenue,” Davies’ lawyer, Joshua Parkhurst, told The Post.

The gender discrimination suit seeks at least $75,000.

In August 2015, The Post reported that a second Times ad executive sued the paper for gender discrimination.

A Times spokeswoman said she couldn’t comment on the suit because she hadn’t seen it.
