The allegations are that ultimately it was NOT consensual, though.

quote:

he woman filed her EEOC complaint against BRG in December, shortly after she severed ties with the company. In an attachment to her EEOC intake questionnaire, she described a "long-term unwelcome sexual relationship" with Besh that began when she was 24, in the summer of 2015. In the EEOC complaint, the woman alleged Besh worked to "coerce" her "to submit to his sexual overtures" on work-related trips.



I'm not saying I KNOW she's not full of shite, by the way. I'm just saying I don't know and that she's not "admitting it was consensual."

I'm not arguing otherwise. (Although, the breadth of complaints here may sort of start tilting things in her favor). Just saying she ultimately did not "admit" the affair was "consensual." She's asserting just the opposite here.

Correct, but she did admit to having a sexual relationship with him and never claimed to have been raped

I think you're missing the point of EEOC claims where there is an employer and employee relationship in which the employee is claiming coercion or feeling forced into a relationship to keep a job, for example.

Yes, that was announced this morning. He still has ownership, though.

WYES dropped reruns of his shows, as well.

Through life experience I have formed an opinion about people who are high profile in their church as Besh seems to be.

It is my opinion as a Christian that some of these people are "led" to become active in their church by their conscience. They are trying to prove to themselves they are good people since they know they doing bad things.

Just an observation.

I suppose that is better than some things they could do but observers should be careful in their approach to such people.

It is interesting how many so-called "Men of God" turn out to have skeletons in the closet.

Well forgiveness is bullshite and everyone knows it. You are every action you've ever taken. Catholics are so weak with this...I'm sorry to all Catholics for saying that. Not really.

many do, because they NEED that forgivness to feel better. Most people who aren't really shitty people, know that as long as they love JC, JC loves them back.

Well, forgiveness for sins is a cornerstone of the Christian faith. We all have sins. No one is perfect.

Though I do think (and hardcore religious people do not agree) that most sins are worse than others.

I worked at Texas Roadhouse when I went back to college to help pay the bills and I could not believe what the young hostesses and waitresses would say and talk about doing on the weekend to try and fit in with the older crowd. I was a good bit older since it was my second time in college so I knew to stay away from that bullshite and drama, but two of the male bartenders got busted and it didn’t end well.

I ended up dating a waitress who was in her mid 20s and we had to keep it on the DL because one of the GMs wanted to hook up with her and she was worried if he found out, that he would fire her.

I worked in restaurants, and in every place the front managers would sleep with so many servers it was insane.
