The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences and its former CEO and president were sued today by a woman who alleges she was sexually harassed in a culture that permitted him and others to abuse, exploit and silence victims for years. Read the lawsuit here.
Plaintiff Terri McIntyre states in her Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit alleging assault, battery and harassment that she was hired as the Academy’s Los Angeles chapter executive director in early 1994.
“In that role, she was subjected to pervasive sexual harassment, battery and assault by the organization’s then CEO and president, Mike Greene,” according to the suit, which further states that Greene, who served from 1988 to 2002, and others in power “covered up the crimes and offenses, not only those crimes against her, but crimes against other young and vulnerable women.”
The Recording Academy issued the following statement to Deadline today: “In light of pending litigation, the Academy declines to comment on these allegations, which occurred nearly 30 years ago. Today’s Recording Academy has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual misconduct and we will remain steadfast in that commitment.”
McIntyre says she was thrilled at the time to get her job, but did not know that she would eventually need to quit in order to “escape the pervasive, incessant androutine sexual harassment and/or sexual assault perpetrated by Greene,” the suit states.
McIntyre seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. An academy representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
McIntyre released a statement regarding her alleged experiences.
