A lawsuit filed against Academy Award-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne by his personal assistant, Kristel Crews, claims that he fired her because she was pregnant, according to reports.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court claims that during her pregnancy, but before she was fired, Fishburne allegedly confronted the soon-to-be single mom, and asked her "to explain to him in great detail, repeatedly, why she made the decision to have a child and the physical course it took to become pregnant."
