NZ newscaster admits threatening a fake "sexual harrassment" complaint as blackmail

"And I went in and I told the general manager that I would take a (sexual harassment) case if they didn't pay me out — which is kind of like blackmail, I guess — and he looked at me and said, 'Oh yes, we know we have a major problem there and one of your colleagues has already taken a lawsuit and your cheque will be ready for you on Friday.'"

The story is framed as a woman being strong.

"...which is kind of like blackmail"

Nope. It is blackmail.

Remind me to start recording audio on my phone before every major meeting. That policy alone would tear all these hoes to shreds lol

I thought blackmail was a felony.

I'd like to hear the other side.

Her career is toast, not for blackmail, but for being stupid enough to get caught doing what I expect many before her have done.

What she did was wrong, but so was what they did in holding her pay like that. Both assholes.

Is it really fake?

Mau also touched on her own experiences of workplace sexual harassment, discussing a short period in the 1990s when she worked at Channel Nine in Australia.

"I had a terrible three months under the direction of this man and then he let me go and he refused to pay the salary that I was owed," she recalled.

Mau said she was hesitant to speak out and even her own parents told her not to complain because they worried she would never work in the industry again if she did.

"I remember sitting there crying and holding my parents' hands and saying 'I can't pay my rent if I don't get that 15 grand — that's what it was ... so I have no choice.'

"And I went in and I told the general manager that I would take a (sexual harassment) case if they didn't pay me out — which is kind of like blackmail, I guess — and he looked at me and said, 'Oh yes, we know we have a major problem there and one of your colleagues has already taken a lawsuit and your cheque will be ready for you on Friday.'"

What I get from this in context is that she was in a job in which her boss was harassing her and then was let go without payment. And let's be honest, if that was the situation the guy gt off lightly just having to pay what was his obligation.

I'm not sure how good or bad it was using the situation only as leverage to get payment, but for what I understand she had a case here.

Although I have to admit the article is not so well written. That's what I get from it.

New Zealanders truly are subhuman scumbags.
