And I do have to chuckle at the fact that she is now dating the plower of a thousand groupies, Dave Navarro. I'm sure they all had to do the spin that so upset Andrea.
Even in the briefing itself, she lets slip that she might have tolerated the sexual environment if they hadn’t tried to demote her job position. I doubt she was deeply offended by most of it but playing up the emotional distress in the court filing is the obvious approach to take.
We’re not talking about crime, just a civil case. As far as I used to hear, flirting or asking someone out wouldn’t be considered harassment if the woman requested it to stop, either directly or through HR, and the man complied and didn’t do it again. If it kept happening repeatedly anyway it might be considered harassment at that point.
The issue again seems to be with management’s reactions to her complaints. After the O’Reilly complaint, she says they took her off O’Reilly’s show. She complains that they kept bringing Scott Brown and Dean Cain on as guests on her show after she complained about them. But that latter one seems to me not a good argument, as long as those two stopped the behavior she was complaining about. Those incidents are definitely a weaker part of her case, but it’s used as supporting material to try to argue that management was either doing nothing or taking actions to harm her in response to her complaints.
