A former employee of a Midtown public relations firm was fired after he complained about too much hands-on instruction from two female bosses, according to a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Joseph Jackson, 41, claims he endured nearly seven months of verbal come-ons and overt touches from two women supervisors at Open Communications, one of whom allegedly sent him a text asking for a “bang sesh.”

Even when John Morris, CEO of Open Communications, a Midtown digital strategy firm, witnessed the raunchy behavior, he simply rolled his eyes and shrugged, the lawsuit contends.

Jackson claims he was fired Feb. 21 after formally complaining three times to Morris about inappropriate behavior from supervisors Sally O’Dowd and Katie Campisano.

He filed his suit Monday, three days after he lost his job.

O'Dowd, 45, who co-founded the company, allegedly wrapped her arms around him when he attended her company birthday party in August.

According to Jackson’s suit, Campisano and O’Dowd started crossing boundaries about a month after he was hired in July.

The leggy brunette hugged him three times even though he didn’t respond to her, the plaintiff says.

“You are so handsome. You are so awesome ...You are so talented,’ she allegedly whispered in his ear. Then she kissed him on the back of the neck,” the lawsuit said.

The attention left Jackson “distraught,” according to the lawsuit, and he left the party.

But the inappropriate contact continued, his suit asserts. Over the next few months, O’Dowd would run her hands over Jackson, touching his abs, massaging his arms and kissing his neck while telling him how “sexy” he was.
