A top executive at Tinder claims in a new lawsuit that she was fired after she reported being sexually assaulted — in front of other coworkers — by the company's former CEO in a Beverly Hills hotel room.
A top executive at the dating website Tinder claimed in a new lawsuit Monday that she was fired after she reported being sexually assaulted — in front of other coworkers — by the company's former CEO in a Beverly Hills hotel room.
The suit dated Monday says that on December 9, 2016, Pambakian says she and Blatt were at a holiday party at a hotel when Blatt lewdly told her, “I get hard every time I look at you.”Instead, Pambakian said she retreated to a hotel room rented by the company with a close friend and with Blatt’s executive assistant. She said she asked the executive assistant not to tell Blatt where she was hiding. But when Blatt knocked on the door, he was let inside.
Two days later, Pambakian said, Blatt “apologized profusely for his actions the night of the holiday party.” “As it relates to the matter alleged in the lawsuit, an incident occurred in late 2016 and was reported at the end of April 2017,” the spokesperson added. “The Match Group Board – with the assistance of experienced outside counsel from two nationally recognized law firms – promptly conducted a careful and thorough investigation under the direction of independent Board members, concluded, among other things, that there was no violation of law or company policy, and took appropriate action.
