American hip hop outfit Insane Clown Posse are being sued by their former publicist/attorney over claims of sexual harrassment involving sex toys and verbal abuse.

According to TMZ, Andrea Pellegrini has taken legal action against the band over incidents that she alleges have taken place between 2009 and last year. Pellegrini claims that she was sacked by Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope after she reported the abuse to hierarchy at their record label Psychopathic Records.

Pellegrini's abuse claims include being gifted a dildo and vagina tighteners by Psychopathic Records employee Dirty Dan, being physically threatened by Violent J's girlfriend Michelle Rapp and forced to share restrooms that were "often full with naked male strangers."

The former employee also alleges that she was once asked to source and obtain an illegal firearm for a photo shoot for the band.

Insane Clown Posse came to prominence in the '90s for their brash and controversial style. Their latest album was 2012's The Mighty Death Pop!; Smothered, Covered & Chunked; Freaky Tales; Mike E. Clark's Extra Pop Emporium.
