How ex-HP CEO ‘groped, kissed and tried to impress’ former TV starlet before paying $1m hush money
Former Hewlett Packard CEO Mark Hurd made increasingly aggressive romantic advances over several years toward an independent contractor who later accused him of sexual harassment, according to claims in a letter from her lawyer obtained by Reuters.
The letter, ordered unsealed and allowed public for the first time since the scandal emerged last year, outlined in intricate detail accusations by TV starlet and HP contractor Jodie Fisher that Mr Hurd had wined and dined her, then allegedly sought sexual favors in return for employment.
But fighting to keep the details of the years’ rendezvous under wraps, Mr Hurd reportedly paid over $1 million in hush money despite losing the legal battle to keep Ms Fisher’s attorney’s claim private, according to sources to the New York Post.
