According to TMZ, a man is suing former Cleveland Indians outfielder Kenny Lofton accusing him of sending inappropriate pictures to employees.

CLEVELAND — Editor's note: the video in the player above is from an unrelated story.

Kenny Lofton is facing legal troubles as a former employee is suing the former Cleveland Indians star accusing him of, among other things, sending illicit pictures to employees.

According to TMZ, the lawsuit was filed by Bradyn Toney, who says that he was hired by Lofton's companies, Centerblock Asset Management LLC and Proxime Corporation in December 2021. While Toney was promised an annual salary of $85,000, he says that he was never ultimately paid for his work.

Toney also alleges that a female employee who had been hired to monitor Lofton's Instagram account told him that the six-time All-Star had been sending photos of his penis to multiple women through private messages on the app. Toney says that he made the companies' in-house attorney aware of Lofton's action, but was fired within two hours of making the complaint.

Toney's lawsuit, which alleges he was fired in retaliation for reporting Lofton's behavior and complaining about wage and hours violations, targets Lofton, the 55-year-old's companies and others in the organizations. He is seeking damages and more.

"Lofton and his executive team thought they could fire our client for objecting to obvious sexual misconduct and even thought they could get away with not paying him for his work," Toney's attorney, Ronald L. Zambrano, told TMZ. "That speaks to the arrogance and dysfunction at play every day at Centerblock and Proxime."
