Ex-Facebook exec Sheryl Sandberg's former assistant says she was forced into risqué work trips with Italian lingerie and head stroking
Daily Mail ^ | March 10, 2025 | Noa Halff

Former Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg has been accused of engaging in a steamy Italian work trip with a female intern, spending a staggering $13,000 on lingerie before asking her to 'come to bed' - a claim that Sheryl denies.

The allegations came to light in a new book 'Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism,' written by ex-Facebook employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Wynn-Williams, who served as director of global public policy at Facebook, writes about her experience after six years at the tech giant.

She accused Sandberg of spending $13,000 on lingerie during a lavish European trip - before asking her to 'come to bed' on the private jet journey home when Wynn-Williams was a 26-year-old intern.

Wynn-Williams alleged that Sandberg instructed her to purchase lingerie for both of them with no budget constraints.

Sheryl Sandberg was married to Dave Goldberg from 2004 until his death in 2015. He had a heart arrhythmia and died after a severe head injury at a resort gym while on a family vacation in Mexico and was found in a pile of blood, leaving Sandberg and their family grief-stricken.

In another explosive claim, Wynn-Williams claimed that she and Sandberg took turns sleeping in each other's laps and stroking each other's hair during a drive through Europe.

The memoir claims that Sandberg became visibly annoyed when Wynn-Williams rejected her invitation to join her in 'the only bed on the plane' during their flight home on a private jet.

Wynn-Williams' memoir accused Facebook's top policy executive, Joel Kaplan...

Kaplan allegedly pressed against Wynn-Williams on a dance floor at a work event, commenting that she looked 'sultry.'

But Meta, Facebook's parent company, has denied these claims told Dailymail.com that Wynn-Williams was fired for 'poor performance' and 'toxic behavior.'

I’d have to see her modeling the $13,000 of lingerie before passing judgment.

Without pictures there is no way to make a proper judgement.

Pleats by the top button to make it look like the fabric is stretched by a big chest. 😁

They don’t make lingerie that makes Sandberg look good. Only money does that.

Must be an example of the “respect women” from the left.
And the left sees nothing wrong with it.

the only part of the HEADline I remember is the part about head stroking and then this pic with an unbuttoned blouse. what realization should I be coming to? can someone unzip this for me? hoping it isn’t another sticky situation like some that came before.

Is she even a real woman, or a man who thinks he’s a woman?!

Huh! Imagine that. When Facebook was playing well with the Dems nothing gets reported. But soon after they STOP it, and talk of leaving the dem plantation, why an “abuse of women” story comes out. What a surprise!

I'm not sure an actual crime was committed here.

Flying to Europe alone with your boss? Things could get spicy, couldn't they.

She must have guessed it might, while she was buying sexy lingerie for them both.

Anyway , it's she said/she said...

Yeah, it was so awful that she hung around for 6 years and put up with the behavior?
