Antonio L.A. Reid, cofounder of LaFace Records and former head of Arista, Epic and Def Jam Records, has been accused of sexual assault and harassment in a lawsuit by former Arista executive Drew Dixon.

The suit, which was filed Wednesday in Manhattan’s Federal District Court and obtained by Variety, claims that Reid assaulted her twice during her time at Arista in the early 2000s. She says that after she declined his advances, he retaliated against her professionally, causing her to miss out on signing or developing artists such as John Legend. She left the company in 2002.
