Rudy Giuliani sued by former employee for alleged sexual assault and harassment - ABC News

A former associate is suing Rudy Giuliani for alleged sexual assault and harassment, wage theft and other misconduct, accusing the former mayor and Trump lawyer of making "sexual demands" and going on "alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist, and antisemitic remarks," many of which were allegedly recorded.
Noelle Dunphy said she began working for Giuliani in 2019 as his director of business development. Giuliani "began abusing Ms. Dunphy almost immediately after she started working for" him, according to her lawsuit.
"He made clear that satisfying his sexual demands -- which came virtually anytime, anywhere -- was an absolute requirement of her employment and of his legal representation," the lawsuit said.
According to Dunphy, Giuliani promised her a $1 million annual salary but the offer came with a catch: Giuliani was in the midst of an acrimonious divorce and he told Dunphy that her pay would have to be deferred and her employment kept "secret" until the divorce proceedings finished. He claimed that his "crazy" ex-wife and her lawyers were watching his cashflow and that his ex-wife would "attack" and "retaliate" against any female employee that Giuliani hired, the lawsuit said.

Part of the job required Dunphy to record her interactions with Giuliani "anytime, anywhere, as well as Giuliani's interactions with others," the lawsuit said.
"But unbeknownst to Ms. Dunphy, Giuliani apparently decided during the interview that he would use the job offer and his representation as a pretext to develop a quid pro quo sexual relationship with Ms. Dunphy. He was later recorded telling Ms. Dunphy, 'I've wanted you from the day I interviewed you,'" the lawsuit said.

Ted Goodman, Giuliani's political and communications adviser, told ABC News in a statement the former mayor "unequivocally denies" the allegations. "Mayor Giuliani's lifetime of public service speaks for itself and he will pursue all available remedies and counterclaims," Goodman said.
Ted Goodman, political and communications adviser to Giuliani, told ABC News in a statement: "Mayor Rudy Giuliani unequivocally denies the allegations raised by Ms. Dunphy ... mayor Giuliani's lifetime of public service speaks for itself and he will pursue all available remedies and counterclaims."
According to the lawsuit, a week into her employment, Giuliani had Dunphy flown to New York on a chartered plane and insisted she stay in a guest suite in his Upper East Side apartment. The two drank and at one point "Giuliani then pulled her head onto his penis, without asking for or obtaining any form of consent. He held her by her hair. It became clear to Ms. Dunphy that there was no way out of giving him oral sex. She did so, against her will," the lawsuit said.

Giuliani often demanded that Dunphy work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her, the lawsuit said.
"When they were apart, they would often work remotely via videoconference, and during those conferences Giuliani almost always asked her to remove her clothes on camera. He often called from his bed, where he was visibly touching himself under a white sheet," the lawsuit said.

I heard this on the news this morning so I wanted to find an article about it
This came across my newsfeed last night. Hahaha... I hope this woman has evidence and it gets plastered all over the internet.
She claims she has recordings
Awesome!
now it's just a matter of time before that clown rolls over on trump to try and save his own worthless ass.
She also made the claim that Giuliani and Trump were selling pardons for 2 million each.
that does not surprise me
I posted my comment before I saw yours Ozz - what AREN'T those scumbags guilty of?
being decent human beings
that's perfect tg
One of those lie down with dogs wake up with lawsuits thingys.
Off topic but I heard about ghouliani the other day - he and the former 'president' offering up pardons at 2 million per pardon
How appropriate.
that probably initiated a call from mar-a-lardo...
he's going to end up living under the same bridge as my pillow mike...
Rudy should look at the bright side - at least he's back in the news.
he must realize by now that he'll have the lifespan of a fruit fly in any NY prison. too bad...
[✘]
I think Rudy has been destroyed by that ancient bugaboo that has ruined billions throughout history. Ego. He cares too much for his own sense of importance.
It's called narcissism.
Trump and Santos are arguing over who invented the psychiatric condition.
Perfect timing for Borat 2 to be re-released.
If she does have recordings this is going to be worth a couple of boxes of popcorn.
he's getting a busy signal at every law firm in NYC...
Susan Necheles tossed her phone into the Hudson muttering "men are stupid, throw handcuffs at them".
Don't know about recordings, but she did imply that she had email...
if she has stuff that the DOJ doesn't already have of rudy's, he's painted himself into a tight corner.
If the DOJ didn't have the stuff, they do now.
looks like rudy will be having a lot of sex in the future, but it may not be the sex he wants...
"open wide, lil Rudy"
he's going to need a lot of tic tacs...

If he made it clear that anytime, anywhere sexual demands were an absolute requirement, gave her that poor excuse of I need to defer your pay due to the crazy wife, i.e. I'll pay you Tuesday for a BJ today..." and she still took the position, isn't it at least somewhat on her? Where's the "Tell you what, you divorce 'ol Bat-Sh!t Sally then I'll come work for you."
Sounds like Mayor 9-11 needs to call 911...
I did wonder about that myself. I know if that was the offer I was given I would have ran
it's impossible to run while experiencing projectile vomiting...
So a Hooker didn't get paid for her services, maybe she can hire Avenatti? That worked out so well for Daniels.
either contribute something significant or bugger off
I summed it up perfectly, she got hired to exchange sexual favors for money, that = hooker.
If that's true then Rudy should be able to prove he's guilty of solicitation.
We are going to have to change Rudy's name to Rudy ''The John'' G.
Rudy, The John, Four Seasons has a nice ring to it.
So Rudy gets to go to prison then. Glad to see even conservatives consider this open and shut.
LOL
Sure charge him for soliciting a hooker and put him on trial. Honestly don’t think the hooker should be charged, she’s too fucking stupid to aid in her own defense.
And apparently that is Rudy's type lol.
Someone dumb enough believe he would actually pay her for sex, and keep coming back over and over again?
[deleted]
Dunphy has a lawyer, maybe you could suggest one for Rudy ... his choices of late have been far less stellar than Avenatti.
Roberta Kaplan, She seems to be a winner.
Ms Kaplan is currently busy and I doubt that she would touch Rudy with a shit laden swamp stick.
This seems to be a little too good to be true to me.
She better have some "receipts".
You kidding, with the level of Giuliani and Trump, she probably has handwritten, notarized, documents that are embossed with "From the personal desk of Rudy Giuliani" in raised letters. Trump also probably took selfies, showing off the checks for 2 million that he received.
well at least he doesn't have to worry about being disbarred anymore...
Silver lining.....
Once again reading these comments show me how our education system has failed. Here is a free lesson for anyone still ignorant enough to think Rudy is going to jail for this.
He can't go to jail for a civil suit!
that [deleted]
Because sexual assault is not a bad thing?
Is it wrong to hope abusers have to pay up?
that should've been left in the basement of the immaculate conception madrasa...
Part of her evidence is said to include tapes of Giuliani offering to sell Presidential pardons...
For two million dollars, to be split with Trump...
If so, that could easily lead to criminal charges.
Could? maybe? possibly? might? the only for sure is it's pathetic.
Rudy is in criminal jeopardy in Georgia...
why would anyone want to defend giuliani at this point ?
To make money is my guess.
George is going to make money?
[✘]
Someone would have to be a complete moron to think I’m defending Rudy.
Oh, I thought you meant his defense attorneys.
[✘]
the civil suit is the opener. he may be doing time for all his other crimes that were exposed.
soliciting prostitution is a crime...you even called her a hooker in another comment here
so make up your mind
Yup! A prosecutor can bring criminal charges if crimes are reveled during the civil trial.
That would be a totally different case, filed by a prosecutor, not a civil case filled by a hooker who didn't get paid, another stupid comment.
And they can charge her with multiple counts of prostitution, Win, Win!
Sure... If that's the charge and it sticks then I'm good with it. Let's remember you're the only one calling her a hooker though.
Now I want the NY procecutor to offer her an immunity deal to testify against Ghouliani, just to make misogynist right wing populists to lose their shit.
I'm pretty sure she would've had to have gotten paid for that charge to stick...
From the one side we've heard so far, she sounds more like an extortion victim than a prostitute.
I don't know what to think from someone who kept working for a man that she alleges forced her to give him head. I mean it's just weird and I'm hoping more information comes to light so we can make a better opinion. My opinion of Ghouliani can't get worse, but I have no clue who the woman was before this article came out, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt until otherwise proven.
Yes, a strange allegation.
I don't care what her motives were/are, but I do know that there will be a lot of justice officials wanting to get their hands on her documentation. I think she may have a hill to climb in a civil suit, but the allegedly documented criminal activity may be extremely useful to other prosecutors.
Nor do I. I hope she fries Ghouliani.
I agree, but back then Giulianni was considered powerful, especially in New York. If she'd left, she may have felt he had the ability to prevent her from finding legal work elsewhere. Nowadays Giulianni is considered a joke and a buffoon.
good point
It is something to consider, of course. I am not a woman, I am not her and I have not walked in her shoes, but no fucking way would I put up with being bullied even without the sexual assault aspect. We have raised whole generations of women to be victims and they are expected to like it and it pisses me off.
seems like some people are moving back in that direction. we need to fuck them up...
I'm no victim. I've told men to shove it when they were inappropriate
so, pretty much a daily occurrence in gooberville then...
bwah ha ha, no wonder they can't find jenna ellis...
I bet turkeys do not appreciate the comparison!
They are honorable fowl. Rudy is just really foul.
LMAO
he's a real plymouth duster.
Hey, I had one of those (even though it just sat in the driveway most of the time).
... junk.
he's fucked 6 ways from sunday...
yesterday rudy appeared in a georgia court for the beginning of his defamation trial.
I think it's a longshot that he actually lives long enough to complete all of his trials.
Well, he ain't Keith Richards, so kinda doubt it.
Keith's gonna outlive everybody.
