Michelle Gotthelf, former digital editor-in-chief of the New York Post, alleges in a sexual harassment lawsuit against the paper that after she rejected Col Allan's come-on, he 'often killed stories that she supported for no apparent reason'
, Michelle Gotthelf has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the paper alleging her boss editor-in-chief pushed her out after she revealed she was sexually harassed by Col Allan, the paper’s previous longtime boss.
“When the two were alone,” the complaint alleged, “Mr. Allan steered the conversation towards sex. He peppered Ms. Gotthelf with questions about her long-term boyfriend, how long they had been together and whether they still slept together.” The lawsuit continued: “Mr. Allan then propositioned Ms. Gotthelf for sex, asking, ‘What about you?’ Ms. Gotthelf was stunned. But Mr. Allan persisted. ‘We should sleep together.’ Ms. Gotthelf rejected Mr.
The former digital editor also claimed that Allan more broadly “created a hostile work environment” for her and other women, often allegedly making degrading comments in front of male colleagues. “Mr. Allan would refer to women in news stories as ‘skanks’ or ‘stupid women,’” the complaint stated.
