Former SF DA Employee Sues Over Firing After 'Reply-All' Email Incident

Jovan Thomas claims the risqué message was an accidental text intended for a grieving friend, not his boss.

Thomas was fired in January after sending an email asking, 'What color panties you have on?' to the entire office, including DA Brooke Jenkins.
He insists the message was meant as a joke for a friend and was mistakenly sent via email during a conversation.
Thomas's lawsuit alleges defamation, invasion of privacy, and emotional distress caused by the DA's office.
The DA's office labeled the email 'misogynistic' and terminated Thomas, stating his behavior violated their code of conduct.
Thomas seeks a jury trial, compensatory, and punitive damages for wrongful termination and reputational harm.
