The NFL Network has suspended Marshall Faulk over sexual harassment allegations. The other NFL Network employee named is Heath Evans. Eric Weinberger, who is now president of sports commentator Bill Simmons’s media group, was also named in the allegation.
Jami Cantor, a wardrobe stylist at the NFL Network, said Weinberger sent (via Bloomberg):
“several nude pictures of himself and sexually explicit texts” and told her she was “put on earth to pleasure me.”
He also pressed his crotch against Cantor’s shoulder and asked her to touch it, according to the complaint.
According to Cantor, Marshall Faulk would ask her incredibly personal questions and was invasive. She also alleges that Faulk would fondle her breasts and grope her from behind.
Ike Taylor, also an employee, is alleged to have sent unasked for nude pictures of himself.
Alex Riethmiller, a spokesman for the NFL Network, said Faulk, Taylor and Evans have been suspended from their duties pending an investigation into the allegations.
By way of Bloomberg:
Cantor first filed her case in October, claiming wrongful termination. Laura Horton, a lawyer for Cantor, said by phone “it’s outrageous conduct and I fully intend to hold the NFL Network responsible.”
