A hotel employee in Missouri and her employer are being sued after she posted a photo of a toy leash on social media — and claimed that the leash was a sex toy.

A married couple who stayed at a Quality Inn in Branson filed a lawsuit on March 6 accusing that hotel employee of defamation. The post, which was shared with a popular local Facebook group, included a photo of what the employee called a “torture toy” and an accusation that the couple allegedly “thrashed” and stole from the hotel room.

In the post, the hotel worker also referred to one of the guests by name, which the couple claimed ruined their reputations.
