We find that there is competent and substantial evidence upon the whole record to support the MCHR's findings and conclusions that Appellants violated § 213.040.1(1), as Respondents adequately presented a prima facie case of discrimination and rebutted Appellants' proposed non-discriminatory reason by showing that it was pretextual. We also find that there is competent and substantial evidence upon the whole record to support the MCHR's award of actual damages in the amount of $5,000 for the deprivation of civil rights and for emotional distress and humiliation and to support the MCHR's order for Appellants to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $2,000. We affirm the judgment of the circuit court. James M. Dowd, C. J., concurs. Lisa S. Van Amburg, J., concurs.
