Rosario Dawson accused of alleged transphobic assault on transgender man in new lawsuit

Actress Rosario Dawson has been accused of transgender assault in a new lawsuit.

A transgender handyman named Dedreck Finley who worked for Dawson filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles court that says the actress and her mother were transphobic towards him.

Finley, 55, was first called Deidre when he was hired by the Dawson family to work in Los Angeles in December 2017.

After coming out, the suit says “the family misgendered him multiple times each day, with deliberate indifference.”

The lawsuit specifically claims that Dawson, 40, “acted with deliberate indifference and did nothing to correct the situation.”

When Finley would complain about his treatment by her mother, the actress and activist would reportedly say, “You’re a grown woman.”

After the family tried to evict Finley from his Los Angeles home and he refused to go, he claims that he got into a physical fight with Dawson’s mother, Isabel Dawson. The lawsuit reads: “While beating Mr. Finley, Isabel screamed, ‘You’re not so much of a man now,’ which was a clear and denigrating reference to Mr. Finley’s gender identity.”

The actress reportedly restrained “him while he was on the ground to ensure that her mother could continue battering him.”

Dawson is currently in a relationship with Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker. The Senator recently said she would make an "incredible First Lady."

Rosario Dawson and her family have not commented on the lawsuit.
