The man who once flirted creepily into a live microphone and open camera with a female colleague allegedly has done more of the same, and perhaps worse.

 

According to Jason McIntyre of TheBigLead.com, a former ESPN makeup artist settled a sexual harassment claim against the network, and the focal point of the case was Chris Berman.

 

Gloria Allred represented the makeup artist, Sue Baumann, whose claims included allegations against Berman arising from comments made in the makeup room and in text messages.

 

According to the report, Baumann and Cris Carter disclosed a consensual relationship to ESPN management in 2013. Twice that year, police were called to Baumann’s house after investigators showed up and claimed to work for an “employee at ESPN.” The investigators told Baumann’s husband to cease “calling and harassing an employee at ESPN.” According to McIntyre, the ESPN employee was Carter.

So Chris Berman wanting some and Cris Carter getting some from a married woman working on contract with ESPN as a makeup artist.

Supposedly the case was settled by ESPN because they said that after review it was cheaper to do that than go through all the legal processes and litigation, etc so they settled to rid themselves it even though the claims were false. I think that kind of thing happens too often nowadays regardless of whether the accusations end up being true or false.

Josh Krulewitz (ESPN PR) said the following:

 

“Our thorough investigation revealed the harassment claims had no merit. We settled it solely to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs.”

I wonder if she was one of the ones laid off?

 

 

Too soon?

I think ESPN is like Sodom and Gomorrah...

 

You have a lot to ex athletes filled with testosterone and a lot of hot women...I think A LOT goes on behind closed doors at the ESPN campus....

I'd love to see NetFlix come up with a reboot of SportsNight that was actually good.

If I had to pick one person who I thought would be involved it was Berman.

Sounds like he needed to BACK BACK BACK... off

Maybe he told her he wanted some of that BACK BACK BACK side!

Maybe Carter and Berman should have had a Fall Guy.:banana:
