This is beyond shocking. But if you watch the video in the link.............well, it's awful hard for me to think that she's lying.
She became successful on her own, she is not trying to get money from him now, her story is horrible and shows how a naïve young woman who wants to be successful can be exploited by an industry and the individuals in it. All of the people who worked for him, if she would have went to any of them, they would not have even helped her because their loyalty was to him as their boss.
The first time it happened, she should have left and not looked back. In any abusive situation, once there is abuse, there will be more to follow.
I briefly worked for a physician, her husband was also a physician. He was very domineering and controlling. He did not work in the office, but he came by frequently to see how things were going and he was helping to manage her finances. I think that he made inappropriate advances to people who worked for her before me because she said, she couldn't find someone who would stay on, people would just be calling out, and she did not know why.
He was subtle at first, but I was uncomfortable, he'd stand too close, he'd want to look over my shoulder have his body almost touching me. He told me his housekeeper was a "smart girl" that she was getting along with him and in return he would help her get her degree so she would have a good career as an Engineer. That's when I knew his intent. I took days off, made excuses. I did not want to be assaulted by this man and felt he was escalating his behavior so I called and left her a message that I could not continue in the position and I was sorry. She told me she needed her key back (Park Avenue with a doorman building).
I came to the office on a day where he was elsewhere and gave her the note and her key telling her that he made me very uncomfortable and what he was doing to cause me to feel that way. I handed it to her to make sure she received it, and she looked like she knew but no one had said anything to her. I know she cried after I left.
I did not mention the plight of the housekeeper, because that was her own decision to make. I did not want to hurt my boss by telling her that her husband is a dirt bag, but somebody had to try to let her know. She's still using his last name and she has become very successful in her subspecialty.
People live thru all kinds of stuff, people have to realize money is just money, there are other places to work. When a job violates you emotionally or otherwise, get out. Get part time stuff, keep your dignity intact, don't wait for it to get worse.

Great advice.
Eight women have come forward, I don't want to make an analogy with another famous celebrity person, entitlement can just be a sleazy person's feeling, but predators are something else.
The verdict guilty. The punishment castration and sugar free Jello. Hey Hey Hey love to play tackle. 😮 😮 😛
Ted Kennedy was another one who harassed and sexually abused women. Help I'm drowning. Ted thought with a good night sleep he could go back and save her. Ah the logic of politicians.
