The female CEO of Archie Comics, who has been accused of sexual harassment by five employees says she can't be guilty of the accusations - because her employees are all white men.

Nancy Silberkeit argues in legal filings that the employees who are suing aren't from a 'protected class' of people - and therefore their claims of harassment aren't legally viable.

Silberkeit is accused of repeatedly shouting 'Penis!' at the employees and also referring to them as the male organ instead of their names.

Reverse discrimination has long been allowed.

Discrimination is discrimination.

This is just a weak effort to play to the judge who may have his/her/its own agenda.

My wife from her working days hated working for women...detested them..petty and dictatorial

Still does

She prefers the company of men

two girlfriends...thats it

She preferred dealing even with male bosses hitting on you...and they did of course

that she knew how to handle or exploit...silly boys

“Bailey Quarters over Jennifer Marlowe”, yep, in a 3 way!

I never understood the appeal of ‘Archie’ comics. Who the heck are these guys who are picking up some book about teenagers over some awesome superhero sci-fi mystic barbarian comic? I mean come on, are there guys out there who claim Archie is their favourite? Or is it for girls or something?

Nancy Silberkleit, the colorful co-CEO of Archie Comics, has entered the race for mayor of Rye, New York, a city of about 16,000 in Westchester County. News of her candidacy follows a report that she has filed a sexual-harassment against her longtime friend Sam Levitin, who served as her liaison following her bizarre yearlong legal feud with the publisher and Co-CEO Jon Goldwater.

Silberkleit, who has no political experience, was an art teacher in New Jersey before the death in 2008 of her husband Michael Silberkleit, son of Archie co-founder Louis Silberkleit. She and Goldwater were the subjects of flattering media profiles when they assumed the roles of co-CEOs in 2009 (Goldwater’s half-brother Richard Goldwater had passed away in 2007), but it was what happened afterward that drew the most attention.

Archie Comics sued Silberkleit in July 2011, accusing her of “offensive” behavior, including the bullying and sexual harassment of employees, that dated back to her arrival at the company. She countered that Goldwater was a chauvinist who had orchestrated a “smear campaign” to seize complete control of Archie, and sought $100 million in damages for defamation. From there, the dispute became only more heated and bizarre, with a bid in January 2012 to have Silberkleit removed as a director and CEO and an order barring her from entering the company’s headquarters or doing any work for the publisher.

The feud was settled in June 2012, with Silberkleit permitted to return to the offices and resume her duties overseeing the company’s scholastic and live theatrical endeavors. However, the confidential agreement was opposed by the granddaughters of Archie co-founder John L. Goldwater, who accused both Silberkleit and Jon Goldwater of wrongdoing.

Addressing the legal battle, Silberkleit told Hometown Media Group last week, “That was just wild, bizarre, over the top. I think it shows I’m not a person who will fold. I’m a person of character.”

Silberkleit promised that her duties as mayor wouldn’t affect her job at Archie Comics. “I don’t have my husband anymore,” she said, “so I can take care of a city.”

Ah, another Hillary - riding on her husband's coat tails.

If I weren’t at work I’d Google “Veronica Lodge Rule 34” to see what comes up. But I am at work....

(Your Mother would be so *proud* of the stuff I taught you today.)

[PATRIOT1876]

WOW!

She didn’t learn a single thing in all her decades on this Earth...

[henkster]

Veronica. Crazy in the head, crazy in the bed.

But only if I was in town for one night only.

[Fightin Whitey]

Vitam imitatur ars.

[Cyber Liberty]

So the guys are bunch of woosies who can’t or won’t give it back to her?

She seems like the type who would crush somebody for "giving it back" at the drop of a hat. Plus they'd never be able to live down sexually harassing something that ugly, ever.

No, if it were me I'd STFU and stay out of her way.

[Cyber Liberty]

Look at her. You hit that so hard you ruined her for the rest of humanity. What’d you do, uproot the ugly tree and hit her with the whole GD thing?

[traderrob6]

Agree on all counts.

[Cyman]

I am sure she is correct by the law.

Somethng tells me that Miz Zilberklunt’s core customers are penises. Spread it far and wide, lady.

[GOPJ]

Can we assume Nancy Silberkeit is related to the owner? If not, the owner’s nuts...

This is exactly what "progressives" need -- a "privileged" class, known in Marxist vernacular as the "oppressor", to serve as the excuse for the failures and shortcomings of all the "victim" classes, or "oppressed" ... It is inherently a racist and sexist ideology, hiding behind the fraud of "tolerance" and "diversity" ...
