Quite a turn of events. Originally it was the woman's lawyer saying that she wanted to speak up and give details but couldn't legally. But now, after the NRA agreed to lift the confidentiality agreement, it is her that refuses to lift it. In a statement, the NRA confirmed, "...Notwithstanding the Association’s ongoing policy of maintaining the privacy of all personnel matters, we have advised Mr. Bennett that we are willing to waive the confidentiality of this matter and permit Mr. Bennett’s client to comment. As indicated in Mr. Bennett’s statement, his client prefers not to be further involved with this matter and we will respect her decision..." Here's The National Restaurant Association's Statement On The Cain Scandal So she keeps putting out there a vague charge of sexual harassment, but refuses to define what she actually means by sexual harassment. Keeps charging that Cain is lying but refuses to give details on what about. How convenient is this? What a piece of work! More sources: Confidentiality agreement waived, but Cain accuser says nothing new
Yeah, She had nothing but an accusation and she knows she got everything out of it she could. I'll bet he turned down her advances because he was happily married. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
She would have been pretty young in 1994... The one that has spoken out was 21 and she said that Cain flirted with her on the job and asked her to go to his corporate apartment.
She's playing a game that's just going to blow up in her face. A woman who acts so indecisive and waffling back and forth, back and forth is losing her credibility - or maybe never had any to begin with...... If a woman had gone thru sexual harrasssment and in her case, the confidentiality agreement was lifted so she can talk about it, like she had said she wanted to do - then she needs to stand up and tell the story, if she thinks it's that important...... My guess is she's stringing this along looking for a big pot of gold....
Flirting w/someone in the workplace is not sexual harrassment. Asking someone to go to your apt is not sexual harrassment, if it's a one-time thing and he got 'no' for an answer and never asked again.......
So what? I ran a large company that had to pay out over $60K total in a 4 year period and I know for a fact that two of the sexual harassment claims were 100% bogus.
Sexual harassment is about abuse of power in the workplace. This will continue for another week or so.. Wait and see.
Do we know she was the one who brought this forward? It could have been just a story someone told and she never had any intention of coming forward because she thought it would be embarrassing.
Fine. But if they didn't take the problem to HR during their employment, w/Cain there to give his side of whatever happened - it's his word against theirs ....... IOW's, there's no proof - no documentation - no file on the case.... I'm not against women and their sexual harrassment cases and siding w/the guy - far from it. Some cases can be pretty serious stuff, depending upon how far it went - it's just that some women will complain about the smallest thing if a guy that she's not attracted to shows her extra attention and gives her compliments.... some are devious enuf to use that to benefit herself....
Yes and I'm sure you were all over Clinton when he was accused of exactly the same thing with Paula Jones.
That was worse. She said from the beginning that he dropped his pants, she saw a small, crooked weenie and wouldn't shut up about it until she won her case ........ good for her!
Actually, not the same thing for many reasons. Paula Jones was molested. Bill Clinton pulled his bent little pecker out of his pants and exposed himself to her while he tried to grope her. Arkansas law enforcement was there and they tried to hush it. She was named, went public, fought it, and received $800,000. Now that is a serious settlement to a named plaintiff. That is pretty different I think you will agree.
If there were other people around, that's good - they have witnesses to his innappropriate behavior....... wait and see is right......
I work in IT and there was a big server issue and they brought 8 of us in a said sign a final written warning or risk being fired. Only one guy was to blame. Everyone else signed. I refused because I did nothing wrong. I stood true and not only did I not get fired but got a promotion because I would not admit guilt because I did nothing wrong. So, if you did nothing wrong you don't pay out and if you do pay out expect to get perceived as guilty.
Could have been. But for sure she is out there in public, through her lawyer calling Cain a liar. If she's going to do that, she needs to quit hiding behind this confidentiality agreement and explain exactly what he's lying about.
So what would you have done if the agreement you didn't sign led to you being the only member of the company being sued, and you had a choice between paying out $10,000 dollars to make it all go away, or $150,000 in lawyers and other legal expenses to "avoid the perception of guilty"? How much is that perception of not-guilty worth to you?
This is a great defense of Cain, because he never admitted doing anything wrong, and never paid out anything.
The pro Obama publication Politico published a story about this headlined "Cain accuser comes forward." But the story could only say that she refuses to say anything.
Clinton had a young worker on the job escorted up to his hotel room by an armed state trooper and then molested her and asked her to kiss it and then threatened her if she said anything. That was OK so what is your issue with Cain here?
