Natalie McKinney Missouri Cases

Ms. Natalie McKinney sued the City of Kansas City, Missouri, alleging a hostile work environment under the Missouri Human Rights Act. A jury awarded her damages, and the City appealed, arguing insufficient evidence and improper admission of "me-too" testimony. The appellate court affirmed the jury's verdict, finding the evidence sufficient to support the hostile work-environment claim and that the City failed to preserve its objection to the "me-too" testimony, which was not plain error. The court also granted Ms. McKinney's motion for attorney fees on appeal and remanded for their determination.
