“Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Tracy Tutor has sued Oren Alexander, accusing him of sexual assault as the ex-high-end real estate broker and his brothers await a verdict in their criminal sex trafficking trial.
Tutor, a real estate broker in California and Texas who has been featured on six seasons of the Bravo real estate TV show, alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday in New York federal court that she is a victim of Alexander’s “ruthless abuse of women.”
In the court papers, Tutor accused Alexander, then a top broker at Douglas Elliman, of enticing her to attend a 2014 recruiting event in New York and sexually assaulting and drugging her.
“Ms. Tutor did not know that she would cross paths that night with Oren Alexander, a man with a history of slipping drugs into women’s drinks so that he could sexually assault them,” Tutor’s lawsuit says. “Tragically, Oren Alexander did exactly that.”
Jason Goldman, an attorney representing Alexander in civil litigation, slammed Tutor’s lawsuit, calling it “salacious and demonstrably false” in a statement.
Goldman said Tutor and her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, timed the filing of the lawsuit “for maximum media impact, “choosing the eve of jury deliberations in the federal trial despite the fact that the allegations are more than a decade old and have already been aired publicly.”
“This appears to be nothing more than a transparent attempt to create headlines and taint the proceedings at a critical moment,” Goldman said. “We are confident the jury will focus on the evidence presented in court, not on opportunistic litigation tactics.”
Kaplan, Tutor’s attorney who previously represented E. Jean Carroll in her sexual abuse and defamation cases against President Donald Trump, did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Business Insider.
Alexander, his brother Tal Alexander — also a former luxury real estate broker — and Oren’s twin, Alon Alexander, are standing trial in Manhattan federal court on sex trafficking and other sex crime charges.
A six-man, six-woman jury began deliberations Thursday, after five weeks of testimony in the criminal trial. Prosecutors have alleged that the brothers raped and drugged dozens of women and girls in a more than decadelong scheme.
The Alexander brothers face up to life behind bars. They have vehemently denied the federal charges against them, as well as other allegations.
Tutor, who now works for the real estate firm Compass, is one of a slew of women who have filed civil lawsuits against the Alexander brothers.
Her lawsuit says that in 2014, Douglas Elliman paid for Tutor to fly from Los Angeles to New York for a networking reception to meet the company’s top executives and agents.
“At the dinner after the reception, Ms. Tutor accepted a drink from someone, which she did not order, and blacked out not long afterwards,” the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit alleges that a friend of Tutor’s, identified as Cory Weiss, found Tutor in a men’s restroom stall with Oren Alexander kissing her with his shirt open, and Tutor acting “out of her mind.”
Oren Alexander, the lawsuit says, was “touching her in intimate areas for his own sexual gratification.”
“Mr. Weiss proceeded to get into a heated argument with Oren and eventually managed to extricate Ms. Tutor from the restroom,” the lawsuit says, adding that Weiss decided to leave the dinner, but asked that someone else make sure Tutor got back to her hotel safely.
“Unfortunately, she did not,” the lawsuit says. “For more than a decade since that night, Ms. Tutor believed that she had woken up the next morning in her own hotel room.”
“Several critical memories returned” to Tutor following 2024 lawsuits against the Alexanders, accusing them of rape, her lawsuit says.
Tutor spoke out about her 2014 allegations to The New York Times in July 2024. Her lawsuit says that she now “recalls that she woke up in someone else’s hotel room the next morning, naked and alone.”
The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and an unspecified amount in damages.
