Supermodel Cindy Crawford's restaurateur husband Rande Gerber has been sued by two of his former female employees after accusations of sexual harassment at work.

The pair filed suit in San Diego County Superior Court in March, TMZ online reported. Gerber is facing a messy legal spat with the two former waitresses, who claim they were fired from a restaurant owned by his company after ignoring his alleged advances and those of the venue's managers.

One of the waitresses alleged that Gerber attempted to kiss her when she worked at the Moonstone Lounge in the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego last year.

"These allegations were previously investigated and shown to be baseless. This lawsuit has no merit," Gerber's spokesman said.
