The children of US Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) relentlessly tormented their mom’s personal assistant, driving him to commit suicide, an explosive lawsuit claims.
Brandon O’Brien, 35, worked for the senator’s wife, Nancy Bass Wyden — owner of Manhattan’s famed Strand Bookstore — from June 2022 to September 2024 and was “frequently tasked” with caring for the couple’s young kids, including driving them to school in NYC and watching them during trips to Disneyworld.
The disturbing behavior began in September 2022 when the couple’s then-10-year-old daughter allegedly exposed herself to O’Brien, making “sexually explicit” comments and asking about his “intimate life” during school drop-offs, O’Brien’s husband, Thomas Maltezos, alleged in court papers he filed against Bass Wyden and her company, Bass Real Estate LLC.
But the mom — whose family founded the East Village bookshop nearly a century ago — allegedly did nothing about the behavior, Maltezos contended.
Meanwhile, the Wydens’ teenage son berated O’Brien with homophobic slurs such as “f—-t” and “zest kitten,” and the boy said “his football team ‘would rape him,”‘ the suit claimed.

So Wyden represents Oregon but his wife and kids live in NYC??
Party of tolerance that eschews bullying and other abhorrent behaviour. Right?
Did Wyden personally play a roll in this exploit that caused his assistant to commit suicide. He sounds dirty.
“the couple’s then-10-year-old daughter allegedly exposed herself to O’Brien, making “sexually explicit” comments and asking about his “intimate life” during school drop-offs”
Some people’s kids...Or is it the parents?
A 10 year old exposes herself to a male homosexual assistant? Dim families are living on bizarro world.
Who would keep working for an employer whose kid did this?
File this under “ things that never happened”
Any sane employee would have called someone to watch the kid, and then leave. No person, let alone a man, should be in that room.
Imagine the money he could have made from a book exposing them! Instead he kills himself? Jeez…these people are whacked.
This is the same as people with a transgender 10 year old, or someone with a vegan cat. The root cause of the problem isn’t the 10 year old or the cat.
The children learned this behavior from somewhere.
This is not the behavior of well raised children.
I am wondering if the children should be checked out for signs of abuse.
If allegations are true kids are monsters and parents are worse. Four monsters at the same time? Very unlikely.
Preliminary verdict: Gaystapo shakedown, caused by brokenhearted (and financially broke or greedy) gay husband of assistant.
Already the Wydens had filed charges against the assistant for theft. The court filing against the Wydens is being being brought up by the suicidal assistants HUSBAND...smells very bad for plaintiff.
Lesson to Wydens: love is NOT ALWAYS love.
While that used to be the common thesis, nowadays with internet and school children gangs, nothing surprises me any more.........
A 10 year old girl exposing herself speaks to other pretty dark and serious problems in this family.
Wyden probably only goes to Oregon to campaign. If even then. Dollars to donuts that he has a home in Oregon that he lists as his "primary" home.
Hell the Democratic party ought to be grooming those little monsters to take over their party some day.
I agree but there is enough evidence of crazy out there to not completely dismiss it.
This is actually a resume enhancement for Wyden and his spawn.
“””Wyden probably only goes to Oregon to campaign.”””
Same with Klobuchar in Minnesota. She lives in Maryland with her husband who is a college professor. I expect many do the same thing.
How can children drive a 35 year old adult (other than their parent) to suicide?
Vegan cat = dead cat.
