Ex-ESPN Employee Adrienne Lawrence Accuses Bomani Jones of Staring At Her ‘Intensely’ in Lawsuit

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

I guess I don't find "ogling" to be invasive nor oppressive nor intimidating enough to warrant a lawsuit/be included in a suit. I mean if a dude went 1950s cartoon on you and stuck mirrors on his shoes to see up your skirt, that's one thing, but legal action because "he looked at me sexually" I mean did dude lick his lips? Do the V and tongue thing? Was he following hallways staring at you? Paint the picture you want, but if I'm a judge I'm throwing out bullshyt such as I was looked at.

she does mention looking upskirts and following women around just to look at their ass and espn doing nothing about it! have you ever worked for a company and had to sit through sexual harassment training meeting? this is exactly the type of shyt they tell employees not to do lol. fortunately she has some men on her side as witnesses and names some females as defendants. to me that makes it seem like more of a straight up failure on espn as a company to make it a professional environment free of sexual harassment claim rather than "sell out man-hater woman" like some people are making it out to be. i dont even think it will go to trial, probably settle out. but if it does go to trial im sure there will be some women on that jury....

This woman is blaming every and anyone in hopes of getting something to stick. Sad that she is destroying her friendships with people in the process.

why tf is saying "i have a boyfriend" a negative response?!! it's a common response breh lol, many men tell a thirsty broad "i'm taken, married, i got a girl" . you would have to be cooky or entitled to think someone is trying to be negative by telling you that. most people would just think oh "ok thats makes sense as to why you wont date me". to me "no thanks" seems a bit colder than "im not available".
.

It depends on what "I have a boyfriend" is in response to. If I'm being polite or coming from a good-hearted place and in your eyes haven't hit on her at all then get "I have a boyfriend" in response that shyt would put me on guard. I've seen some women do that and it is off putting because that would give me the impression that I can't have a regular conversation with her without her thinking I'm hitting on her. As someone that was management at a corporate job I was always on alert for women that could be trouble makers because I didn't want to get caught up in no bullshyt of her misconstruing every word I'm saying as harassment. So if I get that impression I'm going to back all the way off.

im not sure about all that, you gotta consider her lawsuit says espn released some doctored version of the text messages to cover up for Bucci. thats part of her retaliation and defamation claims. even if she did flirt with him one time, as soon as she complains about it to the company it should be handled. if espn would've just gone about it the right way once she complained, i don't think she would have a case. but no, it doesn't even seem like they tried to give him a warning or anything. they basically (and these are female higher ups) told her it was no big deal and then got rid of her even though they were telling her she was doing great on the job and they wanted to build with her etc.

Sometimes companies just decide that the headaches that come with an employee aren't worth it despite that employee's good work. I'll give a real world example that I was dead in the middle of. I was one of the managers, third on the totem pole in our division. One of the receptionists was in to me and I was oblivious and thinking we were just friends. Hung out at each other's houses plenty of times and nothing close to sexual ever happened. One night at hers I got drunk and started making out with her, her daughter started crying and I came to my senses and told her that us kissing was a bad idea and I had to go.

After that she was a complete bytch to me. I let it go until she started doing it in front of other coworkers. I had to tell her she can hate me but she will respect me in front of our coworkers as I have to maintain a certain respect levels of my employees. She's still pissed and snaps at one of the guys under me who was her friend. He asks why she's being such a bytch. I had to suspend him for calling her a bytch. Meanwhile one of the other receptionists is telling her she needs to bypass everybody in our division and take it all the way up to the VP of HR and to try and include the CEO of the entire company and see if she can get paid from it. We ended up firing both of them within a couple days just because they were talking about stirring up so much shyt. Point being both of them had good reviews and were doing a good job but if someone starts to look like they might be more trouble than they're worth they can get the boot.

Not saying it's right but that's how shyt works at times.

I'm surprised Bomani likes p*ssy more than anything else

But seriously now, this story should be a non-issueAre we really reaching a point in society where you can't even look in a broad's direction without repercussions of some kind?

Got Coachman too

On Jonathan Coachman
On or around January 18, 2016, SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman (“Coachman”) emailed Ms. Lawrence offering to provide her with mentorship and providing his cellphone number. When he contacted her via text, he quickly turned a professional conversation into a personal matter, asking her about her musical interests. He was employing the ESPN predators’ playbook. Colleagues then cautioned Ms. Lawrence that Coachman was notorious for sexually harassing female employees. After learning that, Ms. Lawrence made an effort to communicate to Coachman that she had a boyfriend, after which she did not hear from him again and he made no offers of mentorship.

Coachman’s reputation for making unwelcome sexual advances toward women and engaging in other sexually harassing behavior was not a secret. Cary Chow had warned Ms. Lawrence about him when he gave the short list of men at ESPN who were notorious for sexual harassment. Coachman had sent [Sara] Walsh inappropriate photos of himself and text messages, falsely telling her colleagues that they were romantically involved and that she “wanted” him – another common practice of men at ESPN.

Coachman left ESPN for WWE in January. WWE said in a statement Tuesday that it is investigating Lawrence’s claims.

So to recap - a colleague texted you a question about what music you like.

You said you had a boyfriend, so he respectfully STOPPED TEXTING YOU JUST LIKE YOU "WANTED"

.......... So you file a lawsuit and put not only his employment, but his family, reputation and criminal record in jeapardy?

She 100% deserves to be in jail.
