The wife of a Bucks County man has filed a federal discrimination suit against a New Jersey pork roll producer, claiming her husband was fired for farting too much.
Richard Clem, of Levittown, weighed about 420 pounds when he began work in 2008 as a part-time administrative assistant at the Case Pork Roll Co. in Trenton. In October 2010, Clem underwent gastric bypass surgery for his obesity. The procedure, which is designed to reduce the size of the stomach, often comes with embarrassing side-effects. Clem was stricken by extreme gas and uncontrollable diarrhea, according to the suit.
Clems symptoms worsened in 2013 and caused significant disruption in the workplace, according to the suit.
The president of the company, Thomas Dolan, allegedly complained about Clems flatulence to the companys owner and to Clems wife, Luann, who worked alongside her husband.
