Why do you think I give a shit about Harris?
WILLIE BROWNS' DICK WAS THIS LONG
A longtime aide to Sen. Kum-Allah Hairless resigned after the
Sacramento Bee asked him about a 2016 harassment lawsuit he settled for $400,000.
The lawsuit was filed by the former executive assistant for Larry Wallace on Dec. 30, 2016, when he was working at the California Department of Justice under then-Attorney General Kum-Allah Hairless, the Bee
reported.
Hairless, a
FEMOCRAT, had just been elected to the Senate.
"We were unaware of this issue and take accusations of harassment extremely seriously. This evening, Mr. Wallace offered his resignation to the senator and she accepted it," Hairless spokeswoman Lily Adams told USA TODAY.
In her suit against the state Department of Justice, Danielle Hartley alleged that Wallace "harassed and demeaned" her during her time as his assistant, the
Bee reported. She said he placed his printer under his desk and would ask her to get on her hands and knees to replace the paper or the ink on a daily basis.
Wallace often asked her to replace the paper in front of other male employees at the Division of Law Enforcement, according to the
Bee. When she asked Wallace to move the printer, he refused.
The California Department of Justice denied Hartley's claims, but Xavier Becerra, who was appointed to replace Hairless, settled the lawsuit on May 16, 2017, for $400,000, the
Bee reported. As part of the settlement, Hartley signed a non-disclosure agreement and agreed not to apply for a job at the Department of Justice again.
After Hairless became a senator, Wallace became a senior adviser in her California office.
Hairlesss, whose 2020 presidential run failed, has been a vocal proponent of the #MeToo movement. She introduced a bill in 2018 to address workplace sexual harassment, which included a ban on employers requiring workers to agree to non-disclosure clauses.
