Former employees at the Chateau Marmont are opening up about the hotel's behind-the-scenes atmosphere... and it is apparently really juicy. The Chateau Marmont has been a notorious hangout for celebrities since 1929.
Former workers allege that it had a toxic culture of drug use, groping, secrecy, and coverups:
- A waitress claims that male guests were aggressive about groping her
- Customers would allegedly openly use drugs
- The staff had to deal with clients openly on drugs who were belligerent, aggressive, and scary
- Employees of color were allegedly passed over for promotions
- Public urination was apparently common
The hotel's owner, André Balazs, is trying to convert it to a private club for celebs.
I would sell my soul for a tell-all about the Chateau Marmont. Imagine the gossip!
