Former Michael Einfeld Management assistant Rosette Laursen claimed in an Aug. 8 Facebook post that Einfeld sent obscene emails criticizing her for requesting time off to observe "A Day Without a Woman" in March. Talent manager Michael Einfeld has issued an apology to "friends, colleagues and clients" after one of his former assistants, Rosette Laursen, wrote a lengthy Aug. 8 Facebook post detailing sexist remarks he made about her in emails and other offensive alleged behavior in the workplace. In the emails, Einfeld called her an “uppity selfish c—” and suggested that "someone should sew her vagina shut" for requesting March 8 off to observe A Day Without a Woman.
"Are you fucking kidding me. At the end of pilot season," Einfeld wrote in an email that was intended only for two male colleagues but was accidentally distributed officewide. "Someone should sew her vagina shut. I'm never hiring a girl ever again."
In a follow-up email, according to screenshots Laursen included in her post, Einfeld complained that "women are considered diverse and being shoved in as writer and directors. Zach who is a Jewish male is being pushed out. Uppity selfish c—." He added, "I'm sure anyone at a casting office or agency would be fired."
A Day Without a Woman was a nationwide campaign encouraging women to mark International Women's Day, March 8, by taking the day off from work and refraining from making purchases in order to demonstrate their impact on the economy. UTA held off-site events for its female employees, while CAA arranged transportation from its Century City offices for staffers to attend the rally downtown, and women at Paradigm took the day off to volunteer together.

I’m assuming that Einfeld is gay because something about his words has my gaydar at DEFCON 1.
Very classy as is to be expected from Hollywood business execs.
Reason # 347,285 to never put anything into an email, tweet, or internet posting, which you would not want seen by everybody you know and all potential future employers for the rest of your life.
He's part of the 14% of the LGBT constituent who voted for Trump. /s
Reminds me of a surgeon I knew of in the 70s. Our class in Med School had a couple of “feminists” which compared to today were pretty restrained. The Chief of Surgery at the local VA was a burley guy who rode a Harley to work every day and made no secret of the fact he carried a 1911 in a shoulder holster everywhere. The “feminist” med student made some remark to him and he actually told her to “sew her vagina up”. LOL. She pitched a fit and tried to get him fired but everyone knew they could not hire a guy of his talent at twice the price so his job was secure. True story. He was still there when I left and she went on to graduate but everyone knew he was someone you didn’t screw around with.
Yes, he does have a certain “lilt” to his misogyny-laced tantrum.
A reasonable person could just say, “No, I’m sorry, we’re very busy,” or words to that effect.
where is the list of the other 347,284?
Never write when you can speak,
never speak when you can nod,
never nod when you can wink.

Those on the left are so tolerant. We should all strive to be like them. LOL
LOL. Yup
Yeah I got the same vibe about him.
Exactly! It seems a lot of people in Hollywood aren’t very smart.
The three phases of liberal argument.
1) Amazement that you actually have a different opinion
2) Anger that you refuse to blindly accept their argument
3) Personal attack and threats because you are obviously insane and a bad person.
I don’t normally support “politically correct” backlash, but in this case I hope this “boutique” talent agency Michael Einfeld Management will crash & burn so badly that no one can find the wreckage.

Was this email about Hillary, or what? I'm confused.
An angry queer. Go figure.
