Thread: Intern gets $23 Million for being slut shamed after sleeping with boss

A WOLF of Wall Street has to cough up $23 million for sexually harassing and then trashing online his pretty Swedish underling, a Manhattan jury has ruled.
Plaintiff Hanna Bouveng, 25, scored the massive payday after filing suit against her married former boss, Benjamin Wey, the 43-year-old CEO of New York Global Group.

The big award came from punitive damages, with the federal jury handing Bouveng a total of $20 million for defamation that included Wey smearing her on his Webzine after their breakup and emailing her father a vicious note when he found another man in her bed.

Bouveng also landed $650,000 in compensatory damages for sexual harassment that ranged from Wey openly panting over her at the office to pressuring her to sleep with him. When she finally fell into bed with him, he lasted just 2 minutes, she said.
Jurors awarded Bouveng another $1.95 million to compensate her for Wey’s defamation.
The four-man, four-woman jury was upset by the trial’s intense and graphic testimony.

“It was a pretty disturbing trial. I think everybody was troubled by the nature of the case,” said the jury foreman.

A female juror bashed Wey for defaming Bouveng.
“We hope it will make companies and individuals think twice before personally defaming someone else,” the female juror said of their award.
“We felt she was hurt in everything that came out on social media and in the media.”

Asked whether she would spend a night in a hotel room with Wey — as Bouveng testified she was pressured into doing on multiple business trips — the juror smirked and said, “No comment!”
Bouveng’s suit had sought a total of over $1 billion.

The jury awarded Bouveng $US1 million for the retaliation she suffered after she called it quits with Wey and he fired her. And then they deliberated several more hours over punitive damages before awarding the final $20​ million.

“I saw a 6-foot-tall homeless black man named James lying on her bed. The man was totally naked, dirty, totally drunk and perhaps on illegal drugs,” Wey wrote to Bouveng’s father, Nils Sundqvist, in one e-mail entered into evidence.

The pretty brunette gave a small smile to her lawyers as the initial verdict was read.
Also in court was the other man she’d been in bed with, James Chauvet — a sharp-dressed club promoter. The pair shared a long hug after the verdict.
“I think it was a good verdict,’’ Chauvet later said.

Wey, who had been in court every day for the trial with his wife, was not in the courtroom.

His lawyer, Glenn Colton, declined comment.
One of Bouveng’s lawyers, David Ratner, bashed Wey for not showing up to hear the verdict.

“He’s got balls when he’s hiding behind his stupid magazine, but when it comes to facing the jurors, he doesn’t show up,” Ratner said.

“The jury said yes, she was sexually harassed, yes, she suffered retaliation, yes, she suffered defamation — and they rejected everything Wey had to say,’’ the lawyer said. “She’s ecstatic, and we are very, very pleased.”

Benjamin Wey affair: CEO to pay intern Hanna Bouveng $23 million

$23 mill - that is so wrong!

^They would look at his presumably substantial income to make a determination. He'll appeal, no doubt. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets watered down to a tenth of the current award. Still, a nice pay off. He could always counter- sue for her 2 minute remark.

I bet that hurt the chump more than the $23 million.

I wonder what his wife recons.

Wolf of wall Street - just another common oxygen thief

To think that all Lewinsky got was a cigar.

The bue veined cigar ?

Has she starred in a porno yet ?

Holy cow, I used to think the best way to get ahead was to get educated, get competent, and try, try, try. Maybe even, provide a value added.

Now I realise the best way to get ahead would have been to get fvcked, by a man or a woman (who cares, for $23mm), and live a comfortable life with no need for ambition or expertise, beyond not trying to spend the $23,000,000 too quickly. I'm sure I could have afforded the KY jelly for my sore anus.

Seriously, what an idiot I was believing in concepts like 'honour' and attainment. I wish I had Jewish or Chinese step parents, not the working class numpties that brought me up and deceived me with concepts like 'honour', honesty and the commonweal. Oh well, too late now. But I'm glad I do not have children.

Open offer- for half that price, I hereby offer my services to be slut shamed by any boss, anywhere, anytime.

Her chink boss seems to be a real nasty piece of shit

Seems like a classic case of "Don't you know who I am?".

Well done Mr. Big Shot, she's taken a couple of your bonuses and everyone in the world now knows you can't keep it up.

Well done lady.

Yes,

I have blown the old crusty load in 2.3 seconds on quite a few occasions.

I'm much better now that I've matured.

I can last till 3.2 seconds.
