A former New Jersey judge has settled with the New Jersey judiciary in a case alleging that she was harassed and discriminated against for dressing “fancy” and “feminine” during her six months on the bench in Bergen County, New Jersey, in 2015.
The case, which was settled Monday, alleged that former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Deborah Gross-Quatrone was hit with complaints and criticism related to her appearance from then-Assignment Judge Bonnie J. Mizdol of Bergen County, including her “flowy beachy hair” and her designer clothes, such as Louboutin heels, Armani skirts, Louis Vuitton pocketbooks, a large diamond ring and a Rolex watch.
U.S. District Judge Esther Salas of the District of New Jersey entered the order.
