Here's more entertainment and celebrity news from March 5th. An 18-year-old former Water Polo star from Harvard West Lake School in Los Angeles has filed a civil lawsuit against the school its officials. And a former teammate, Aiden Remain claims he endured sexual assault, harassment, and racial abuse from three teammates between August 2022 and February 20, 24. This suit was filed on Friday, February 27 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The allegations censor unrepeated attacks, mainly by teammate Luca Vander Wode, who allegedly ambushed Remain on campus, including in the pool, area. Remain says he reported the incidents right away, especially after learning of abuse against another player, but the school took no action. Remain, who was black, also accuses two teammates of using racial slurs daily for five months, in staging a slavery reenactment by whipping him in the wait room. Even after the school questioned them and they admitted the slurs, no protective steps

followed, according to the complaint. Meanwhile, Remain told Vanity Fair he put up with it to chase his dreams of college division one Water Polo, pro-play in Europe, and even the Olympics. His family has suffered too, with his father saying they have not slept well since October 2023. Vander Wode's attorney strongly denies all claims and expects the truth to come out in court. The family seeks damages for lifelong harm, and the school has not yet commented. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. No need to switch positions.
