Former NY Post Digital Boss Sues for Sexual Harassment, Retaliation for Complaint About Ex-Top Editor Col Allan
The former digital editor-in-chief of the New York Post is suing the media outlet, its former top editor Col Allan and New York Post Group editor Keith Poole for sexual harassment and retaliation for reporting her accusation. Gotthelf, who worked with the NY Post for 20 years before being terminated last Wednesday, filed suit Tuesday saying that in 2015 Allan sexually propositioned her by saying “we should sleep together.” She said that the proposition was after years of other sex-based harassment and abuse, including Gotthelf witnessing Allan harass and degrade women by referring to them as “skanks, “stupid women” or “sneaky lesbian” and further humiliating Gotthelf in front of her male peers.
