Buss said she didn’t back down from that owner.
“As we were waiting, taking a break from the meeting and everybody’s in line for the buffet for lunch during the lunch break, somebody grabs my ass,” Buss said on the show. “I turn around and I was so shocked. But it was like, again — if I didn’t have the confidence that my dad put in me, that was a moment where I wanted to shrink and to be nothing, that I would have, you know, gotten sick and said, ‘I gotta go.
“And so I said, ‘Look, if you’re gonna apologize to me, you apologize to everybody in this room.’ In other words, you’re not gonna isolate me and make me feel less than anybody in this room. I’m an equal, and I belong here. I’ve heard other women have the same kinda circumstance.” Buss, who was previously engaged to Phil Jackson, said it’s “really difficult to be the only woman in the room” and is pleased that has changed over time.
“That was like 25 years ago, and now I’m not the only woman in the room,” Buss said. “I don’t stand out, and it isn’t something that people use against me like they did so many years ago because I was unusual or kind of a prop or whatever. I belonged in the room, and they tried to take that away from me.
