Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon is now in the news for all the wrong reasons. The former Houston Oilers quarterback is being sued over a sexual harassment claim from one of his former assistants.
The legal team for Moon has already released the following statement:
“Warren Moon has yet to be served with the lawsuit filed by Wendy Haskell, but he is aware of the claims contained in it,” attorney Daniel Fears said in a statement. “Mr. Moon denies the claims by Ms. Haskell. Mr. Moon contends these claims are meritless, and he has every intention to vigorously defend himself in court.”
The lawsuit was filed Monday in Orange County Superior Court in California. Haskell said that Moon made “unwanted and unsolicited” sexual advances toward her while she was working for Sports 1 Marketing as Moon's assistant. The lawsuit lists Moon as president and co-owner of the Irvine, California-based company.
Moon had been doing work for the Seattle Seahawks, but has since requested leave from his duties. The National Football League franchise accepted the request.
According to the lawsuit, Moon drugged Haskell's drink without her consent during a business trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Also Moon demanded that she (via ESPN:
“submit to a variety of unnerving sexual and perverse controlling arrangements, including sleeping in the same bed with him on all business trips, providing him unfettered access to the bathroom every time she showered, wearing skimpy lingerie while in the obligatory single room, obtaining prior approval for her wardrobe, and being subjected to continuous unwanted and unsolicited sexual advances.”
Obviously, this is a still developing story. Until all the facts are out, best for everyone to wait before making crazy declarations.
