BUT BUT BUT Making it go away, even if the it is completely wrong, can be rational. Depending on juries is a crap shoot, with loaded dice.

Harassment claims are always dubious. It is too easy to get attention and money by cobbling together events that may be true, or confabulation. The hurt of harassment is self reported and might be influenced by the more hurt, the more money.

A 1.3 Million dollar offer exceeds the expected life time earnings of many of us. Such payments for hurt feelings are insults to all who work hard for a living.

I was outraged before I saw this latest development with the way Charney treated his employees but now infuriated as a citizen at his conduct and his lawyers outright “contempt” for the legal system and the public’s right to receive accurate information. I recall Charney repeatedly telling us via the press the Nelson’s claims were fabricated and that she was a poor sales performer who disappeared and never came back. I NEVER believed this and it is now obvious that she had him dead on with her claims as he agreed to pay her 1.3 Million dollars!
