HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) — Hooters is known for their attractive servers and tasty wings, but two men who worked at the establishment claim their male boss sexually harassed them for years. The lawsuit filed on behalf of Paul "PJ" Cagnina and Scott Peterson against Hooters and Rick Leukert states that Peterson was fired, but is unclear on Cagnina's current status with the company. “Repeated, intense acts which were intended to cause mental harm to the plaintiffs, to humiliate them, to undermine them,” said Jason Oliver, an attorney who is representing both men. Hooters released a statement that said: “This matter involves a franchised location and its employees in California. We have no independent knowledge of the facts and are therefore unable to comment.” 
 
 Neither men work for Hooters anymore and could not speak with CBS2 on-camera Wednesday night, but Oliver says this is not just about money, but is to want to make sure this kind of behavior doesn’t happen again. After a bikini contest at the Hooters in Costa Mesa, Leukert "threw Mr. Cagnina down to the parking lot" and engaged in a simulated sex act with the plaintiff in front of others, the suit alleges. But soon after, Peterson was also let go, which his attorney argues was in retaliation.
– It might not be shocking to read that two Hooters employees are suing the company for sexual harassment. But what if we told you the two employees were men? A lawyer for PJ Cagnina and Scott Peterson tells CBS Los Angeles his clients were subjected to years of "repeated, intense acts which were intended to cause mental harm…to humiliate them" at the hands of their former boss while they worked as managers at various Hooters locations in the LA area. The lawsuit claims their boss, Rick Leukert, would inappropriately touch Peterson and talk about him in a sexually demeaning way, NBC Los Angeles reports. It also states he sent Peterson photos of a female employee he claimed to have slept with and would touch Peterson's butt while standing behind him. But according to the lawsuit, Cagnina got the worst of it. It claims Leukert threw him to the ground following a bikini contest and pretended to have sex with him while people watched. It also states Leukert would try to get him to "go skinny dipping with female employees" and ask if he'd impregnated any of them. The lawsuit claims Leukert took a cellphone belonging to Cagnina's girlfriend—a Hooters' manager—and looked at her "intimate photos." It states he had his assistant write "PGay" on a trophy being given to Cagnina and would pronounce his name "Cagina" to rhyme with "vagina." The lawsuit claims Cagnina and Peterson were retaliated against after complaining about Leukert's behavior, with Peterson losing his job. The lawsuit filed Tuesday seeks unspecified damages.
