Dan Snyder, the embattled owner of the Washington Football Team, faced new allegations of sexual harassment on Wednesday in a scathing report in the Washington Post.

The article details lewd videos made by Washington staffers for Snyder that included footage of exposed Washington cheerleaders.

The report also cites 25 women who claim they experienced sexual harassment as employees for Snyder's franchise. “Snyder has presided over an organization in which women say they have been marginalized, discriminated against and exploited,” writes the Post. “The employees also described an atmosphere in which bullying and demeaning behavior by management created a climate of fear that allowed abusive behavior to continue unchecked.”

The allegations come weeks after a previous damning report in the Post laying out the toxic workplace culture over which Snyder has presided. The owner was not directly accused of sexual harassment in that story, and he disputed the recent claims.

“The behavior described in the Washington Post's latest story has no place in our franchisee, or in our society.”

Snyder said he learned of the allegations through the media and takes full responsibility, while placing the blame on his subordinates.

“I have admittedly been too hands-off as an owner and allowed others to have day-to-day control to the detriment of our organization.”

He also called the Post story a “‘hit job' relying on unnamed sources and allegations that are largely ten to twenty years old.”

Later on Wednesday, the NFL released a response to the Snyder allegations—albeit indirectly, as it did not mention Washington nor Snyder.

“We strongly condemn the unprofessional, disturbing and abhorrent behavior and workplace environment in the report which is entirely inconsistent with our standards and has no place in the NFL,” the league's statement read.
