Good morning, Broadsheet readers! There are stomach-churning claims made against a Madison Avenue CEO, Jessica Alba’s Honest Company is in hot water yet again, and new proof that men are clueless about women—at least when it comes to what we go through at work. Have a wonderful weekend.

EVERYONE'S TALKING

• Worst boss ever? A lawsuit filed by J. Walter Thompson's chief communications officer Erin Johnson makes a slew of horrific allegations against the ad giant's CEO, Gustavo Martinez. According to her suit, Martinez repeatedly made sexist, anti-Semitic, and racial slurs against company employees. One of the suit’s most shocking claims is that Martinez said that a female executive needed to be “raped into submission.” The ad boss says there is "absolutely no truth" to the charges. Fortune

Re/Code's Kara Swisher calls the conversation part of a "public relations initiative...to convince shareholders that she is the rightful leader of the company." Re/Code

• Not so honest? According to Wall Street Journal tests, laundry detergent from Honest Company, Jessica Alba's natural products startup, contains a cleaning agent called sodium lauryl sulfate—which the company specifically cautions consumers to avoid. WSJ

• SEAL sisters? According to new timelines released by the U.S. Defense Department, the first female Navy SEAL candidates could arrive at pre-training as early as May. San Diego Union-Tribune

• Easy for you to say. A new survey finds that 67% of men believe “men and women have equal opportunities” in most workplaces. Not surprisingly, women call BS: Only 38% agree that’s the case. Fortune

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

• Oh no, DJ. This one really hits home: An analysis of Dow Jones brands—which include The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and Marketwatch—found that female DJ employees make an average of about 87 cents for every dollar paid to male staffers. Washington Post

• Next gen grudge? The friendship between Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump has reportedly hit a rough patch. Politico

• Comstock crosses over. Beth Comstock, GE vice chair and No. 50 on Fortune's Most Powerful Women list, writes about "crossovers": The moments when "an invention, idea, or body of knowledge in one field jumps into another—and the result is a quantum leap of progress." Harvard Business Review

• Not ready for her jelly. A new Lane Bryant ad featuring plus-size model Ashley Graham has been rejected by several networks, including ABC and NBC. The spot includes shots of a nude Graham and another model breastfeeding. Is it just me, or does this seem hypocritical for networks that have no problem with Victoria's Secret ads? People

• A steadfast sponsor. While many of Maria Sharapova's sponsors have bailed in the wake of her drug test failure, racket maker Head announced that it plans to extend its contract with Sharapova. Sports Illustrated
