Today's Harassment Claims

[mikey]

I saw the thread pop up and mused to myself "Why is it called 'Today's' thread when most of the allegations are years or decades old" and then the excerpt is from 79 years ago.

a) ****, you just beat me to this
b) ****, it's you again...haha

I've heard Martin Van Buren could get a little handsy.

Maybe the girls should've learned CPR.

Bela and Martha Karolyi are suing USA Gymnastics for lost wages.

Giant stones on them. What a blinding lack of awareness. Just crawl into a hole and die already.

[tifosi77]

There are at least two gymnasts that I'm aware of that have filed suit against the Karolyis citing that lack of awareness. I think the Karolyis are seeking indemnification from USAG.

[dodint]

I didn't read into it, just that they're seeking a million in lost wages now their their ranch is not a viable business anymore.

The News reported that APG Security, a private investigation firm with corporate headquarters in South Amboy, New Jersey, and offices in 21 states including Texas, requested the court files for Patricia's case in January. It is not clear whether the Lions contracted the firm to run a background check on Patricia or someone else did.

The News reported that the case against Patricia and Dietrich fell apart when the alleged victim did not respond to attempts to contact her in the weeks following the incident and decided she would not testify.

I can't stand Patricia and wish him the worst in Detroit, but this is straight up mudslinging. There certainly could be truth to the original allegations, but this is literally one accusation from 22 years ago in which the woman suddenly got cold feet.

Edit: Well this changes things...I didn't realize it was assault of a minor In that case, the decision to not face the witness stand makes a lot more sense.

So, does that make all of the new students victims too...? Are they all to be included in the stats from now on?

Almost all kids now a days are a victim of some sort of made up threat to their existence.

You could say the same about people who voted in the past presidential campaign.

that's $768k once you count legal fees.

It could have been as much as $960k if they would have used a Pittsburgh law firm that only charges 25%.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

You don't have to be a genius to figure out 15% is YUGE

(CNN) — Mario Batali‘s own restaurant group has decided to end its partnership with him, after allegations of sexual misconduct against the celebrity chef led to a police investigation.

tif weeps.

I kinda do, actually. I have like 8 or 10 of his cookbooks, and I learned to cook from watching Molto Mario. It's sad learning someone you respected is such a doosh.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

I always liked him as well, stings a bit for me. Especially since he did some stuff with Action Bronson the past few years.

a friend of mine managed one of his restaurants in NYC, La Sirena, and said he was awesome and he was invited to her wedding. she was quite shocked over all of this
