A former employee at the TV-famous Sweetie Pie’s restaurant in The Grove has filed a discrimination suit against the business in U.S. District Court in St. Louis.

Veronica Tate, who worked for one week in October 2012 at the restaurant, claims in her lawsuit that she was subjected to constant sexual advances from “Ike,” who touched her, bumped into her and made sexually explicit comments to her.

Further, she says that when she brought the situation to the management’s attention, she was told, “That’s Ike. That’s how he is.”

After further complaints, Tate said she was told to leave the restaurant and go see the company’s business manager, Charles Bussey. She said Bussey offered her a job at another location but then never got back to her.

Sweetie Pie’s is featured on a reality show airing on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
