Along with this, he shared some of the alleged messages sent by the complainant: “I want to read verbatim the first email, the postscript, which says, I expect a prompt response to the requests, if one of them does not accept it, I will have to go to the next step, which would be to follow my husband’s advice and report him for sexual harassment, With the supporting evidence of messages, photographs sent and reputation, I have won the case, I prefer to reach an agreement and avoid having to go through this. Now everything depends on you, and if I am crazy, that is, thanks to you.”
