An ex-receptionist says a New Jersey dental office is a hotbed of drug and alcohol use where her boss took hard liquor shots out of dental cups and threw a booklet at her for blowing the whistle, a new lawsuit alleges.

Nadia Zevallos says she was driven out of the American Dental Center in Union after complaining about the rampant party culture promoted by her supervisor Lilly Almeida, according to her Union County lawsuit filed Thursday.

The 39-year-old Belleville, New Jersey, woman says she saw Almeida drink hard liquor out of dental cups, eat marijuana jello shots and pot brownies while on the job, the court papers allege.

Almeida also allegedly pushed these edibles and drinks on other employees who partook in the partying, including a dental assistant who handled patients, the court documents say.

Zevallos was also offered the drugs and alcohol but passed, the court filings say.

Almeida was able to get away with allegedly inappropriate behavior because of her “flirtatious and possibly romantic relationship” with dentist David Paltac, the suit alleges.

Almeida retaliated when Zevallos complained to office manager Cathleen Peters by screaming at her in front of patients and staff and throwing an accounting booklet at her, the court papers claim.

Almeida then slammed the booklet on Zevallos’ desk, violently shook her chair and assigned her extra work that week, the court documents say.

Almedia also gave Zevallos shifts she knew it would be hard for her to make, the lawsuit alleges.

In a meeting the pair had with Paltac and Peters on Feb. 3, the dentist said, “there can be an empty bottle of whisky in my garbage can, but if there is no video of me drinking it, no one can prove that the whiskey bottle is mine,” the court documents allege.
