Faye Dunaway apparently treated her gay personal assistant poorly while workshopping the play Tea at Five, calling him “a little homosexual boy” before he was fired for complaining, according to a new lawsuit.

As Page Six reports, “Michael Rocha says in his Manhattan Supreme Court suit that he began working for the Broadway-bound production — from which [Faye] was eventually fired — on April 5 and was tasked with shopping, helping the actress take her meds, arranging her schedule and getting her to and from rehearsals.”

Michael worked out of the star’s East 57th Street apartment and was paid $1,500 per week. He alleges that Faye “regularly and relentlessly subjected plaintiff to abusive demeaning tirades” and used his sexual orientation as a gay man to “demean and humiliate him at work.”

The papers state that Faye called Michael and other workers “little gay people” and later that month called him “a little homosexual boy,” which he says he has a recording of. Ouch!

We’ll see what happens with the suit.
