Former Giuliani employee alleges sexual assault and harassment in $10 million lawsuit
A Giuliani spokesperson denied the allegations of Noelle Dunphy, who says she was hired by the former New York City mayor in January 2019.
A former employee of Rudy Giuliani is suing him for $10 million over allegations of sexual assault and harassment, wage theft and “other misconduct,” including several instances that were recorded, according to a complaint filed Monday.
Noelle Dunphy, the employee bringing the lawsuit, was hired by the former New York City mayor and Trump lawyer in January 2019.
From the start, Giuliani “worked aggressively” to hire her, offering her a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to work for an annual salary of $1 million as his director of business development, Dunphy alleges.
It was an opportunity that was “too good to pass up,” according to the filing. But the offers were “a sham,” motivated by Giuliani’s desire to “pursue a sexual relationship” with Dunphy, and the abuse began “almost immediately,” she alleges.
The 70-page filing details multiple instances of sexual harassment and assault, including accusations that Giuliani forced Dunphy to perform oral sex on him in his Upper East Side apartment, and while he took phone calls. Giuliani “aggressively pursued a sexual relationship” with Dunphy, the filing says, and “made clear that satisfying his sexual demands” was a requirement of her job. He “continually pressured her into sex,” and was “unconcerned” about whether Dunphy had given consent, the complaint says.
