Seven takes out injunction against Amber Harrison to stop release of confidential documents
Seven West Media has today obtained an interim, ex parte injunction in the Supreme Court of NSW against former employee – and the woman at the centre of the sex scandal with current CEO Tim Worner – Amber Harrison, as the network looks to stem the tide of documents, letters and receipts she has been releasing on Twitter.
Harrison came to national attention in December 2016, when she emailed details of an extra-marital affair with Worner, including claims of cover-ups, credit card misuse and bullying within the organisation.
Seven West Media acknowledged the affair, but subsequently launched an investigation into some of the other allegations against Worner, including drug use at company events.
In early February, the investigation cleared Worner of the allegations, with Seven West Media standing by the embattled CEO.
It never ceases to amaze me, how such a stir can arise and quickly escalate, whenever sex between consenting adults occurs.
You can pick up the phone, and rent it by the hour, you can find it at office parties and even ( from time to time) in the little back room or the stationery locker. yet once news of it leaks to the public, it brings all the moralists and personally offended out of the woodwork, and stimulates politics and legal action, funds for lawyers and journalists, and a range of general excitement.
SEX! After weaning, toilet training, and primary schooling, it is what most people ( all but a few) actually do for almost, if not all of the balance of their lives.
I find your continued reference to this matter as a “sex scandal” demeaning and inappropriate. The phrase incorrectly characterises the issue, which is all to do with corporate accountability and misuse of power. It diminishes the role of Ms Harrison to that of a concubine or worse. I honestly expected better of Mumbrella, please reflect on whether this tone in your editorial coverage aligns with the frequent positions you (quite rightly) appear to support on sexism in the media and advertising industry.
