Xaviaer DuRousseau sues PragerU, alleging discrimination and wrongful termination; PragerU rejects the claims
On November 3, 2026, conservative commentator Xaviaer DuRousseau, a former PragerU personality, sued the Prager University Foundation (PragerU), its chief executive Marissa Streit and six other individuals in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint's causes of action include discrimination, hostile work environment harassment and retaliation under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, wrongful termination in violation of public policy and whistleblower retaliation. According to The Post Millennial's account of the complaint, DuRousseau alleges that a colleague openly said he was racist and used an anti-gay slur at him four times during a company event in Montana where PragerU had the two share a hotel room, that PragerU refused his requests for security after seven men surrounded him and tried to assault him in Washington, D.C., in June 2026, and that Streit pushed him out in what he calls an "ambush" meeting. PragerU says it "wholly rejects" the claims, does not tolerate discrimination and is facing "a kind of lawfare" aimed at conservative organizations. The case is pending, with a first case management conference set for March 3, 2027.

Before the quotation
The Post Millennial reports that, according to the complaint, seven men surrounded DuRousseau in Washington, D.C., in June 2026, called him an anti-gay slur and tried to physically assault him, and that he then told management he would not go back to the city without security.
After the quotation
The complaint says that when he raised security with CEO Marissa Streit, she told him that if he felt so in danger that he needed security, he was a "safety threat to our donors," which it calls weaponizing his safety concerns against him.
