Ellen Pao Officially Found Liable For Roughly $276,000 In Court Fees From Kleiner Perkins

endrar · 2016-09-08T09:39:41+00:00

It's kind of funny that she called KPCBs $1 million in court fees excessive when she wanted $2.7 million. I guess now she will have to find someone else to sue for sexual discrimination to get the $276k.

CynixCS · 2016-09-08T11:01:37+00:00

Wait, wasn't Pao that crazy chick who went to court over being fired for bad performance and claimed it was "because misogyny", then had the judges basically say "no misogyny here, you're actually incompetent"?

udson · 2016-09-08T09:48:40+00:00

This wasn't really "denied." She's avoiding 75% of the costs that she should have had to pay.

Civil_Defense · 2016-09-08T12:01:58+00:00

Ellen Pao

That's a name I've not heard in a long time...

Arimer · 2016-09-08T13:19:10+00:00

So she sued her former empolyer for sexual harassment to cover her husbands legal fees so does this mean that it's his turn to sue someone for sexual harassment to cover her legal fees?

Madman644 · 2016-09-08T13:31:16+00:00

God I love seeing Ellen Pao get slammed off her SJW high horse.

How old is that article? Pao resigned early July last year.

Liz_Me · 2016-09-08T10:32:39+00:00

Hey thanks for posting this.

I was wondering what the epilogue for the whole Pao thing was going to be.

Reliable source I'm sure...

SirAter · 2016-09-08T11:44:05+00:00

There's... not even a pretense that this fits the ostensible purpose of the sub. There was no "pussy pass" and she was not "denied" but actually won a substantial reduction in the fees claimed.

CJR3 · 2016-09-08T15:23:15+00:00

Does no one realize that this is literally just a repost of #13 from the top of all time for this sub?

Very old news.

Whatever the opposite of shocking is.

How that.

SimonLaFox · 2016-09-08T14:58:15+00:00

Pao had offered to drop an appeal of the original case if KPCB gave her $2.7 million for costs she incurred in court fees during the six-week trial. KPCB shot down that idea, calling it completely off.

This is completely wrong. It was KPCB that offered to wipe the debt if she didn't appeal. They gave her a deadline, she passed it, then dropped the appeal when it was too late. The article even confirms this a paragraph down:

Kleiner Perkins expected this verdict today. Partner Christina Lee wrote in a statement to TechCrunch that the tentative ruling from earlier, “recognizes that our settlement offer was reasonable and made in good faith.”

Pao didn't ask for the fees to be wiped out, it was something offered to her that she effectively turned down by waiting too long.

Serenaded · 2016-09-08T12:01:22+00:00

MRW I see Ellen Pao on the front page

stinkair · 2016-09-08T13:56:53+00:00

Remember when reddit management bait-and-switched the community by using Pao as a figurehead we could blame for policy changes reddit management wanted to push through, then fired her as soon as that was done? That's gotta be one of the most obvious group manipulations in recent memory

JangoDarkSaber · 2016-09-08T12:07:45+00:00

This is a circle jerk I havent seen in a while.

2016-09-08T15:04:30+00:00

Judge Kahn agreed with the excessiveness of the fees and reduced them to $275,996.63 today to better reflect Pao’s resources.

I wish poor people got the same treatment.

2016-09-08T12:38:27+00:00

Ellen Pao you say?

no_talent_ass_clown · 2016-09-08T13:42:10+00:00

That was last summer, before she left Reddit.

According to this Wikipedia article she didn't have to pay a dime.

Quick question, I joined Reddit after all this Ellen Pao bullshit, but I did hear something about a user name goldf1sh getting banned in relation to this? Can you guys please fill me in?

2016-09-08T16:27:07+00:00

However, Pao and her lawyers filed court documents in May to dismiss the court fees, calling them “excessive” and claimed that they were made in “bad faith.”

Not at all like her lawsuit.

TotesMessenger · 2016-09-08T16:46:31+00:00

neotropic9 · 2016-09-08T19:41:42+00:00

IIRC her job was to take the heat during a slew of unpopular changes. She was a scapegoat, or a fall guy. Boy, has she paid for it.

2016-09-08T20:18:10+00:00

Schadenfreude.

2016-09-08T20:27:19+00:00

I wonder if the heads of Reddit feel like the dodged a bullet by getting rid of Chairman Pao when they did?

Those who can: do.

Those who can't: sue for sexual harassment.

Sometimes I miss the frothing volcano of drama that came with FPH, but then I read a cadre of vitriolic memes like this strung together Pandora bracelet and I think...it's probably better this way:

belaballer · 2016-09-08T18:31:04+00:00

From what I understand from comments and can remember what was going on a year or two ago, Reddit made some changes and got rid of a few subreddits. People got upset (like me) with the censorship, and essentially got Ellen fired. She sued claiming the firing was mysoginistic but she lost, tremendously (as shown here). The firing wasn't mysoginistic, she was just being used as a scapegoat, just as a man just as easily could of been.
