Wynn shares tumble 6% after reports of 'decades-long pattern of sexual misconduct' by CEO Steve Wynn
CNBC ^ | January 26, 2018 | Michael Sheetz

Posted on 01/26/2018 10:14:44 AM PST by EdnaMode

Wynn Resorts stock dropped 6 percent in trading Friday after The Wall Street Journal reported allegations of sexual misconduct by billionaire CEO Steve Wynn over many years.

Dozens of people who worked at Wynn's casinos say his behavior created a pattern of sexual misconduct, according to the report, with some describing employees being pressured into performing sex acts with Wynn.

Wynn would regularly have manicures, makeup applications and massages performed at his office at the Wynn resort in Las Vegas, according to the WSJ. Former employees of Wynn say they would schedule fake appointments for female workers to avoid requests for those services, the report says.

A manicurist who worked at Wynn's flagship casino recounted an incident with Wynn in 2005, telling the WSJ that he forced her to have sex at his office. Colleagues recounted her returning to the on-site salon visibly distressed, the report says, and she told others Wynn pressured her to take her clothes off and lie on the massage table kept at his office. Those people she told about the incident recounted to the WSJ that the manicurist did not want to have sex with Wynn, but said he was persistent in his demands.

The WSJ contacted over 150 current and former employees of Wynn. The majority of those who spoke worried that talking to the media would hurt their job opportunities, citing Wynn's vast and powerful influence throughout Nevada and the casino industry.

Steve Wynn is an open and avowed trump supporter. No doubt this is the same leftist cabal paying women to come forth to try to take him out because of it. I bet if digging is done, we’ll find a lot of liberal money behind this. And once Wynn is toppled, the women totter off into oblivion, much richer than they were before.

As proof: where are the Trump accusers from the campaign now? Where are the Roy Moore accusers now, after the election? Any of them file lawsuits? Nope. All slung their mud, and with the deeds attempted they are eerily silent. Don’t be surprised if the same applies here to Steve Wynn.

When are they going to expose the women who sold their bodies for movie roles, fame and glory?

Lol. You reap what you sow. In the sixties we decided that those old traditions of respect for women and putting off intimacy until marriage were old fashioned and demeaning to women. After the sixties it was sex drugs and rock n roll all the way.

Wynn is the Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Don’t expect to hold that post for much longer.

Jennifer Lawrence, guaranteed. Mediocre actress gets on the fast track to fame, fortune and awards and who is her mentor? None other than Harvey Weinstein.

Drat. I had hoped that the number of demonrats spitted over this fire would deter the left from pursuing this strategery.

Im sick of all these hysterics. This needs order and fairness applied to this as it is applied under the law to any other grievance. You have a short reasonable time to file your claim OR YOU WAIVE IT. Judge Roy Moore was hit with a 40 year old bull crap lie by some paid woman with no credibility and idiots fell for that. unreal. Use it or lose it. I don’t know Wynn— But some of this is absurd and is a form of extortion that borders on BLACK MAIL!!

Screw him and his plastic surgeon.

Okay, so the Left would like to stay blinded to any Statute of Limitations on actions, and instead are actively promoting a “mainstreaming” of accusations, permitted against anyone, anytime, and that can never be proven in a court (even against now 80 year old men who came up through and into the FREE LOVE era, of the 60’s and 70’s).

Las Vegas was the epicenter of The Rat Pack and the international city made a mint selling scantily clad women and the service people who chose to work in that atmosphere.

Wynn was very probably a licentious putz who could have been guilty in high fashion of every sin and indulgence, maybe even drugs, who knows. But, these women!

If these women wanted to work in a seminary atmosphere, what were they doing working anywhere near Las Vegas? Their own pay was from an industry funded by mainstreaming sex and entertainment.

It’s impossible not to remember all of the women of that era who would not and did NOT put up with that crap. They were not inclined to work in Las Vegas, first of all.

Thank God for fly-over country guys and gals. These are the back bone of our country, a decreasing number admittedly.

Didn't I see an article last week about Wynn financing a new Conservative News network?

Time for them to get out the long knives and attempt to damage him.

He was also a big Trump supporter and has supported republican causes 8 out of 10 times. I don’t care if he supported Harry or anyone else, either, IT’S HIS MONEY, Vegas is FULL of women willing to sell their bodies to even get a little bit ahead and if he had consensual sexual relationships with them, so what? The left pushes it aside that female staffers had to sleep with David Letterman to even get their jokes on air, so why should Steve be any different? Oh, right, because he’s a republican business tycoon.

It’s beyond obvious that the only real talent Jennifer Lawrence has is sleeping with Harvey Weinstein for fun and profit.

The perp. I guess he had to force himself on women due to his hideous, botox-laden, over-surgerized, perpetually-surprised face.

What happened to these women? When it was Clinton sexually “assaulting” Lewinski in the Oval Office (powerful man pressuring an impressionable woman to perform a sex act) we were told that powerful men have a higher sex drive and that women should be grateful and fulfill their desires.

What a different 20 years makes.

Yeah.... because billionaires find it so hard to find top shelf ass that they have to force the hired help to service them.

It’s far more likely this is gold diggers hooking up with Wynn, and wanting to get paid.

I guess he has nothing to worry about then.

I’ll never get past him supporting one of the most loathsome and destructive Senators EVER.

Well if she appeared visibly distressed, that proves it. Women can’t fake love, orgasms, anger, or being upset. Everyone knows that./

Steve Wynn is guilty of nothing more than being a powerful man in sex-saturated Las Vegas.

He's also the reason that the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas can't get a gaming license. He hates Trump, and has control of the gaming commission in NV.
