PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Rita Brown, plaintiff-appellant in this Title VII racial harassment action against defendant-appellee Jabez Sport Clips, La, L.L.C., her prior employer, appeals the district court’s decision to admit Brown’s testimony, on cross-examination, regarding her two prior racial discrimination suits against another hair salon employer containing allegations similar to those made against Sport Clips in this case. The district court concluded that the probative value of the evidence of the “remarkably similar” prior suits, together with evidence of potentially fraudulent activity associated therewith, substantially outweighed the danger of unfair prejudice. We need not decide whether the district court erred in admitting the evidence because even if the court erred, the error was harmless. There was substantial other evidence weighing against Brown’s credibility and in favor of the jury’s verdict for Sport Clips.
 

  The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
