WELL, MIKE, THE LAWSUIT BY THAT FORMER AGENT SAYS SHE OBSERVED ILLEGAL DRUG USE, SEX ABUSE AND FRAUD AGAINST UNKNOWING CUSTOMERS HERE AT VARIOUS AGENCIES, WHICH IS LOCATED IN A STRIP MALL IN WEXFORD. NOW, THE COMPANY, ITS CEO AND A FORMER MANAGER NAMED IN THE SUIT ALL DENY THE ALLEGATIONS AS DOES THE PARENT COMPANY FOR AMERICAN INCOME LIFE, WHICH IS ALSO NAMED IN THE SUIT. BUT THAT FORMER AGENT TELLS A VERY DISTURBING STORY BETWEEN COKE, XANAX, CIALIS. YOU NAME IT. THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT DRUGS, RENAISSANCE STOCKEY WENT FROM DELIVERING PIZZA TO MAKING A SIX FIGURE INCOME AS AN INSURANCE SALESMAN, PERSON WITH AREAS, AGENCIES IN WEXFORD. JOINING COMPANY OFFICIALS AND TOP AGENTS AT CONFERENCES LIKE THIS ONE AT A BEACHFRONT RESORT. IT WAS JUST VERY CULT LIKE, IN A WAY. ZELENSKYY RECORDED CEO SIMON ARIAS AT A STAFF MEETING. I’M RAISING SAVAGES THAT ARE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WE’RE GOING TO CREATE SO MANY MILLIONAIRES, SHE SAYS. ARIAS AND TOP OFFICIALS, INCLUDING HER SUPERVISOR, MICHAEL RUSSIN, WOULD WRESTLE IN THE AGENCY OFFICE. HAYS ZELENSKYY SAYS RUSSIN SEXUALLY HARASSED HER, INCLUDING IN HIS CAR, WHERE HE ASKED HER TO GO FOR PRIVATE MEETINGS. AND THEN SHE SAYS, AS IT BECAME SOMETHING WORSE, HE WANTED YOU TO PERFORM SEXUAL FAVORS FOR HIM IN ORDER TO GET A PROMOTION? YES. AND THEN IT TURNED INTO JUST WATCHING HIM. HE WOULD PULL UP -- ON HIS PHONE AND HE WOULD SAY, THEN YOU CAN JUST SIT THERE IN COURT PAPERS. RUSSIN DENIES THOSE SPECIFIC ALLEGATIONS. AND ALSO DENIES THAT HE ASSAULTED AND HARASSED ZELENSKYY RUSSIN DOES ADMIT THAT THERE HAD BEEN INSTANCES IN WHICH HE WAS INTOXICATED AT WORK IN 220, 19 AND 2020. BUT HE DENIES THAT THIS BEHAVIOR WAS FREQUENT AND OR OPEN. IN A STATEMENT, RUSYNS ATTORNEY SAYS HE TAKES THE ALLEGATIONS VERY SERIOUSLY AND HE IS CONFIDENT THAT THE RESULT OF THIS LITIGATION WILL CLEAR HIS NAME OF WRONGDOING. A JUDGE REMOVED THE PORTION OF ZRINSKI’S LAWSUIT AGAINST ARIAS AGENCIES AND AMERICAN INCOME LIFE TO ARBITRATION. THE LAWSUIT SAYS RUSSIN AND OTHER LEADERS AT THE AGENCY WOULD DRUG SUBORDINATE FEMALES WITH DATE RAPE DRUGS LIKE GHB. RUSSIN DENIES THOSE ALLEGATIONS. ZELENSKYY SAYS SHE WAS AT THIS CRANBERRY HOTEL WITH RUSSIN AND OTHER COWORKERS WHEN SHE SET DOWN A DRINK TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. THE NEXT THING SHE REMEMBERS IS WAKING UP AT 3 A.M. IN A BEDROOM. I COULDN’T FEEL MY BODY. I LITERALLY COULDN’T FEEL ANYTHING. I JUST COULDN’T MOVE. I WAS SORE IN CERTAIN PLACES. I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE PUT SOMETHING INTO YOUR DRINK? YES, I KNOW. BECAUSE IT WAS VERY GHB WAS ANOTHER DRUG THAT WAS PASSED AROUND A LOT. IT’S A VERY MISOGYNISTIC, VIOLENT, BRUTAL ENVIRONMENT. AUBREY MAYFIELD ALSO SOLD LIFE INSURANCE FOR AREAS AGENCIES, AND SHE POSTED THIS VIDEO ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE. INCE IN AN EEOC COMPLAINT, SHE SAYS SHE WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED DURING AN OFF SITE WORK EVENT. UNFORTUNATE. ONLY I WAS ASSAULTED IN A MANNER THAT I’M NOT SURE IF I CAN SAY ON HERE. AND I REPORTED IT TO MY MANAGEMENT TEAM THROUGH THIS COMPANY. AND I WAS TOLD TO BE QUIET IN THEIR RESPONSE TO THE EEOC, ARIAS AND AMERICAN INCOME LIFE DENY MAYFIELD’S ALLEGATIONS AND DENY SHE EVER COMPLAINED TO THEM. THEY SAY THEY HAVE A POLICY PROHIBITING SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION. THE EEOC ENDED ITS INVESTIGATION IN OCTOBER WITHOUT MAKING ANY FINDINGS. ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES ASKED ARIAS OWNER SIMON ARIAS FOR AN INTERVIEW, AND HE DECLINED. IN A STATEMENT, AN ARIA SPOKESPERSON SAYS, WE DO NOT COMMENT ON PENDING LITIGATION. HOWEVER, WE TAKE THESE CLAIMS SERIOUSLY AND WILL VIGOROUSLY DEFEND AGAINST THEM. A SPOKESPERSON FOR GLOBE LIFE, PARENT COMPANY OF AMERICAN INCOME LIFE, DECLINED TO COMMENT. ZAWINSKI’S LAWSUIT ALSO INCLUDES ALLEGATIONS OF UNETHICAL AND FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES, INCLUDING AGENTS FORGING THE CUSTOMER’S SIGNATURE AND MAKING UNAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWALS AND MISUSING DECEASED CUSTOMERS IDENTITIES TO FRAUDULENTLY CHARGE CUSTOMERS FOR BOGUS LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES. THEY WERE SELLING PEOPLE INSURANCE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. YES. THAT WAS VERY COMMON IN THE LAWSUIT. ZELENSKYY SAYS SHE TOLD ARIAS ABOUT THE FRAUDULENT PRACTICES, BUT THE COMPANY NEVER FOLLOWED UP WITH HER OR GAVE HER A RESPONSE. AGAIN, ARIAS AND AMERICAN INCOME LIFE’S PARENT COMPANY DECLINED TO COMMENT. ZELENSKYY SAYS SHE HOPES HER LAWSUIT LEADS TO MAJOR CHANGES AT ARIAS AND AMERICAN INCOME LIFE. THEY NEED STOPPED. THEY THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE. ZAWINSKI’S LAWSUIT AGAINST RUSSIN IS STILL PENDING IN FEDERAL COURT IN ARBITRATOR IS HEARING ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS SHE HAS AGAINST ARIAS AND AMERICAN INCOME LIFE. AND MAYFIELD’S CASE IS ALSO BEFORE A
