AceShowbiz - Wesley Han, an actor from Power Book II: Ghost, is pursuing legal action against the Soho Grand Hotel in New York City, alleging discrimination and harassment related to bathroom access.

The lawsuit stems from an incident during a private event at the hotel where security confronted Wesley Han over their restroom choice. According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, a security guard asked women gathered in the foyer if they had seen a man enter the women’s restroom. Shortly afterward, the guard entered the restroom where Han was present, despite Han being dressed in women’s clothing and having the right to use the facility.

The guard allegedly refused to allow Han to wash their hands and escorted them through the hotel to the men's restroom, an experience Han described as humiliating. This confrontation has led Han to seek damages for emotional distress and humiliation, arguing that their rights were violated during the incident.

Wesley Han is known for playing Pinky, a private investigator on the popular Starz series produced by 50 Cent. Their role on Power Book II: Ghost brought significant visibility. In addition to this series, Han has appeared in other notable productions such as Russian Doll, Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens, and Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin.

The case highlights the ongoing cultural conflict surrounding bathroom access and gender identity, especially as several U.S. states continue to pass restrictive bathroom laws targeting transgender and non-binary individuals. For instance, Idaho recently criminalized bathroom use by trans people in private businesses, and the U.S. State Department has introduced its own anti-trans bathroom policy.

Han’s lawsuit serves as a direct example of how such policies and social attitudes manifest in real-world settings, even in upscale venues like the Soho Grand Hotel. So far, the hotel has not issued a comment regarding the lawsuit or the incident.

This legal action comes amid a wider national debate and legal battles over transgender rights and access to public accommodations, with Han’s experience shedding light on the personal toll of these issues within the entertainment industry and beyond.
