Amber Harrison fires back, claiming Seven’s probe into CEO’s conduct gives green light for men to ‘prey on female staff’
Amber Harrison, the woman at the centre of the sex scandal involving married Seven West Media CEO Tim Worner, has described the independent inquiry into allegations of drug use and affairs with stars as a “whitewash”, saying the ruling is a “green light” to male executives to “prey on female staff”.
Worner this morning was cleared of misconduct allegations by the SWM board
In a statement provided to Mumbrella, Harrison said she was “disappointed but not surprised by this whitewash by Seven West Media”.
The scandal came to light after Harrison, a former executive assistant to Nick Chan in the media company’s magazine division, went public on her 18-month-relationship with the married executive. In an explosive email, Harrison made a number of claims about Worner’s conduct during and after their relationship.
I think Amber Harrison is right in that the report probably white-washed Tim Worner’s credit card misuse and drug taking at work. However I fail to see how it encourages senior male staff to prey on female staff. She was a consenting adult who had an affair with a married man, not a woman taken advantage of. Conflating her situation with women’s rights in the workplace isn’t right. It reminds me of Peta Credlin blaming her appalling performance on a lack of respect for women.
What a shame and and embarrassment, I am disgusted and saddened to live in a society that can treat women, or anyone this way.
Total disgust at the “investigation” outcome.
Shame on you all. Misogyny lives @7
Here we go… another female playing the victim game, I certainly have no sympathy for either you Amber or Tim, you are both a disgrace and selfish, the only victim here is Tim Worner’s wife and their children, if they have any, so Amber go whinge somewhere else.
@DavidHensilen – no sympathy for Amber? They both did something wrong, but only Amber is sacked and Tim carries on his multi million dollar job.. right, all OK then.. carry on..
