Bryce Mottram, a former general manager at one of quirky ice cream purveyor Ample Hills’ scoop shops, has filed a lawsuit in New York Eastern District Court alleging that he was fired from the company in retaliation for speaking up about instances of sexual harassment and unsafe COVID-19 workplace protocols at the company. It’s the latest blow for the brand as Ample Hills continues to struggle to regain its footing following bankruptcy, a change in ownership to manufacturing company Schmitt Industries, and its founding duo splitting from the company last July.
