Karen Cooper, longtime director of New York City’s indie cinema gem Film Forum, says she’s stepping down at a good time, not just for her, but for the business. Despite all the naysayers and after slogging through Covid with the help of federal grants and weathering a slow recovery, Cooper said business is currently pretty lively at the lower Manhattan nonprofit cinema she’s run for the past 50 years.
Nike Exec Caught Receiving Oral Sex From Female Staff -- & More Alleged Sexual Harassment From Higher-Ups Revealed In Unsealed Lawsuit
21.12.2022 - 19:29 / perezhilton.com
A new lawsuit filed by 14 women alleges Nike executives would get “sloppy drunk” and “prey on” female subordinates at the company’s world headquarters in Oregon.
The gender discrimination case, which was unsealed late last month, claims the brand promoted a “boys club” atmosphere at their offices in the city of Beaverton. That atmosphere allegedly included male executives making sexual advances on women who worked at the company, as well as delivering suggestive comments about their appearance and referencing sex during work-time conversations.

According to the civil complaint first filed in 2018 in US District Court in Oregon, women reported being invited to “work dinners” by high-ranking men because those executives “had hopes of sleeping with them.” Some execs would get drunk and “put their arms around” female employees at these events.
One woman who worked at the company claimed she was told by male co-workers to “dress sexier” and “show some skin” while on the job. And in one especially egregious instance, a woman reported finding a male executive receiving oral sex from a female subordinate in the campus gym.
WTF?!
The suit came about following the circulation of anonymous surveys filled out by women at the company earlier that year. Per Insider, those surveys tell a jaw-dropping story about the alleged activities that went on behind closed doors at Nike. In one survey response, a woman write:
Others report various concerning instances of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. One anonymous responder wrote how she was told this by a male executive:
Another female employee slammed human resources, saying how she didn’t
