In response to the trial, Sam's Club said that Harris had been released after the investigations on his complaint revealed that she sexually harassment another employee herself. In addition, the company said it had existing disciplinary costs for attendance problems.

However, on May 23, judgeClay D. Terre From the American district court of the District of the Georgia environment, ruled that Harris can take his claims at the trial, because a jury can reject the reasoning of the Sam club and see him as "pretext". As Bloomberg Law reported, it was because Harris had not been accused of harassment before the investigation of his own claims.

Harris said that she had never been informed of the allegations against her. Given this, the court determined that Harris did not have "the significant opportunity to present its side of history", and as it was not questioned about allegations, it could suggest that this n 'was not the real reason for his dismissal, "the judge wrote.

Harris also alleges that his dismissal has been racially motivated.
