variety.comSteven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Mike Greene, who was president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences from the late 1980s until 2002, has been sued by a former female employee for sexual assault and harassment.
The news was first reported by the Los Angeles Times. Terri McIntyre, who was the L.A. chapter executive director from 1994 to 1996, alleges sexual harassment, negligence and harassment in the 55-page suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Additionally, it names the Recording Academy and claims that “Defendant Greene and/or Defendant Academy have engaged in a cover-up and/or an attempted cover-up.” It comes on the heels of a suit filed against Neil Portnow, former chairman and president of the Recording Academy, who was accused by a woman who claimed he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2018.
Today’s complaint was filed under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act, similar to Portnow’s suit in New York under the recently expired Adult Survivors Act.
