Tech CEO Forced Assistant to Sign 'Sex Slave' Contract, and Tormented Her With Sadomasochistic Bondage, Lawsuit Alleges
A former Bay Area tech CEO was fired earlier this year after allegedly enslaving, torturing, and sexually abusing his assistant. He claims the pair had a consensual relationship that people would "celebrate" if it were fictitious.
Former Tradeshift CEO Christian Lanng denied the allegations levied against him and the billion-dollar company he co-founded that were made by a former employee in court Thursday.
"The shocking and vile claims in the lawsuit are categorically false, and I reject allegations that I subjected someone to any form of abuse during my tenure as CEO or at any other time of my life,” Lanng told The Messenger.
In the complaint, an unidentified woman alleged that Lanng sent her into “a dark abyss of unwanted sexual horror," according to The Mercury News.
Fear and power do a lot, and there is a whole legal section about how contracts signed under duress against the person's interests are not legally binding.
Like you, this is the first I've heard of this so I don't have any opinions at this time.
Some people get off on being abused by those with more power than them.
I think they call it a 'kink.' I don't think we should shame them for it.
Also something about this guy being a millionaire probably made him very attractive.
Let's see how much money she can get out of him before we pass any judgement, though.
Straight to slut shaming, cool. Great contribution. You’re trying to appear “neutral” but your true colors fly bright and clear through your words.
What are you talking about?
Your first sentence in your previous comment:
It reads as if your initial response to this happening was to say "she wanted it", which is pretty terrible.
And what about my second and third sentences? Did you just ignore those?
You're the only one who's shaming them.
Your second sentence clearly kink shamed, even if you wrote that you didn't.
Your third sentence is just more of the same crap.
You are just either a troll or an idiot, and I have better things to do than to argue with either.
Okay, believe whatever you want. Me literally saying we shouldn't shame them I guess is me shaming them.
Have a nice day, I'm going to ignore you because I'm tired of your insults.
It was a pretty funny take. I'm not saying I agree or not with you, but you were pretty clear, and they simply didn't care about your words, they just wanted to get on a hate train. 🤷
