Flex Alexander is being sued for sexual harassment by one of the show's former stand-in's who filed anonymously as Jane Doe. Celebrity Justice was on the set of "One on One" in 2002 as Alexander shot courtroom scenes with guest star Judge Joe Brown. In her suit, Jane Doe alleges she met Alexander at the Valencia Country Club. When she learned she would be losing her job as a server, Doe claims Alexander agreed to help, getting her the gig on the "One on One" set. But after working on the show for just one season, Jane Doe claims she was terminated for her "refusal to engage in a sexual relationship" with Alexander. During her time on the set, Doe claims Alexander "tried to kiss her," "criticized her boyfriend," "expressed his jealousy," and, the suit claims, "shared inappropriate conversations" with her about his "porn addiction."
