Dole pineapple heir Justin Murdock sexually harassed a former employee and even threatened her life, according to a bombshell lawsuit filed against the former beau of Avril Lavigne in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Carissa Schumacher — who was director of corporate development for more than two years at both Castle & Cooke, a subsidiary of the Dole Food Co., and NovaRx, a pharmaceutical company run by Murdock, 38 — claims he regularly made derogatory comments about women and ordered her to book sex dates for him on her credit cards. When Schumacher objected, she claims he threatened to fire her or kill her.
A complaint filed against the billionaire playboy, who got into a bar brawl with oil heir Brandon Davis five years ago, alleges that he:
* Forced her to open a Facebook account for him under the name “Cobra McJingleballs” and which was filled with graphic images including a minstrel-show actor in blackface and an old black-and-white photo of men dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes.
* Told her, “You look like a whore” and said, “What you need is a good pounding.” Murdock also allegedly showed her a pornographic film and said, “You know you love it,” told of his sexual exploits in graphic detail and simulated sex acts at meetings.
* Demanded she buy flights and hotel rooms for young “interns” he planned to feature in ads for NovaRx.
* Defined her job as being “under my desk [bleep]ing my [bleep.]”
* Threatened her life, saying, “If NovaRx fails, I’ll put you at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in concrete boots.”
Murdock’s lawyer, Jason Burnett, declined to comment for Page Six.
