Russ Kirby was a financial manager at Sewell Lexus, a dealership in Dallas, Texas for years. He helped sell thousands of cars during his 20 years of employment until his coworkers discovered his wife’s alternate online persona.

In March of 2022, Kirby’s coworkers discovered his wife’s explicit, pornographic content on Instagram, OnlyFans, Twitter, and PornHub.

He found out after a coworker brought it to his attention that other employees were sharing her content with others in the dealership after a “viewer” recognized his wife from pictures on his desk, reported Automotive News.

After he was made aware, he was allegedly called into the general manager’s office with the vice president present. He said he was fired due to the circulation of his wife’s content, and said they couldn’t have him working “in an environment where people don’t want to work with him.”

Kirby’s bosses told him not to tell anyone he was fired over her porn

Kirby claims both executives instructed him to lie about why he was fired. Instead of saying, “I was fired because my wife does porn in her free time,” they told him to say the company was “restructuring” and was laid off.

Of course, Kirby wasn’t pleased and took his employers to court for wrongful termination. In the suit, which took place two years after the firing, he said he was discriminated against by his bosses and subordinate employees because his wife is black.

The dealership execs denied the claim, and it was dismissed by a judge. The dealership, though, did admit that his wife’s content had “become a problem,” and the circulation “violated the company’s standards of professional conduct.”

Now, Kirby’s suing the dealership for wrongful termination

With his original claim of racial discrimination dismissed, he pleaded to pursue them for wrongful termination. A federal judge granted his plea to take further action, so he’s preparing to do so.
