The backstory: Condit was hired as Alvarado-Gil’s chief of staff in 2022 when she was elected to represent Senate District 4. She fired Condit in December 2023.

Condit filed a lawsuit in September claiming Alvarado-Gil asked him to perform oral sex on her to prove his loyalty. Both of them are married.

He alleged that Alvarado-Gil groomed him within the first six months into a dominant relationship where she repeatedly demanded oral sex, which never led to sexual intercourse.

The sex-based quid pro quo relationship allegedly resulted in him performing oral sex on her in a car, where he injured his back while doing so because of having to twist and contort his body in the confined space.

Condit suffered three herniated discs in his back and a collapsed hip from the incident and allegedly refused to perform oral sex on her after that.

The big picture: Alvarado-Gil claims in the cross complaint that Condit was fired because of misconduct, including threatening behavior.
