Meet Kenneth Lombardi. He is a 29 year old male who resigned last November from CBS claiming sexual harassment. Kenneth Lombardi claims he was repeatedly drunkenly groped and kissed by powerful men at the network. This includes the director and even Scott Pelley. If true, this story will be as much ironic as it is telling about liberals who love to bash the Catholic Church. Kenneth Lombardi also claims to have symptoms of PTSD from this alleged sexual harassment at CBS.
Now this might look like a boomerang. CBS, an aggressive network in covering sexual-abuse charges against the Catholic Church and Penn State, is now being accused just the same.
Former CBS employee Kenneth Lombardi, 29, who quit the network last November, is suing CBS claiming sexual harassment. The New York Post reports he claims he “was repeatedly drunkenly groped and kissed by powerful men at the network — including the director for the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley.”
Sexual harassment filed against CBS by Kenneth Lombardi “I have symptoms of PTSD from this,” Lombardi told the Post on Thursday, comparing CBS to “the Catholic Church or Penn State” for allegedly sweeping his complaints under the rug. Where have we heard that charge before?
“I have nightmares. I relive these moments every day. The sound of ice in a glass will take me back to that moment,” he said, referring to what he described as a terrifying barroom encounter with Albert “Chip” Colley, who directs the popular and award-winning Pelley newscast….
[T]he self-described bisexual started fearing for not only his employment, but his safety — after Colley and another male higher-up put the moves on him at boozy office functions, his Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit alleges.
So lets review the week for CBS.
1. Alix Bryan files a false fraud report over the Memories Pizza GoFundMe page, and has thus far gone unpunished.
2. CBS tweets, then deletes a ridcioulous statement claiming Iran’s death to America chants are more out of habit than conviction.
And now the sexual harassment lawsuit.
