(OP’s comment)

I’ve been in contact with quite a few LMG employees. Many have given me statements about the abuse and sexual harassment Madison endured while working there.

One of them also gave me a recording of this meeting that was never supposed to be released. This is my proof that I have talked to LMG employees and have sources inside. I post this as verification of that fact.

I cannot out these people or give direct quotes out of fear they will suffer consequences, but I hope they come forward publicly even if it means risking their careers.

I can tell you their accounts match hers. And even go into further detail. One person constantly was mentioned more than others, but she’s not naming names so I won’t either.

She is telling the truth.

This meeting kinda goes along with how she mentioned her being sexually harassed was regarded as he causing drama.

    There is nothing in this audio recording that I find particularly concerning other than James’ comment. It sounds just like a standard meeting that I would have had during a morning brief. Knowing the context of James’ comment was directed at Linus, who is a close friend, probably smirked and kept on going.

    When you add the context of sexual harassment, it doesn’t look good and is an inappropriately timed joke. However, nothing about the meeting indicates that it was about sexual harassment in particular from listening to the audio. If I missed it, please inform me.

    Maybe it is because I heard these types of conversations frequently, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. They even say you can contact a manager, Linus or Yvonne, or the anonymous hotline. So people have options if they have a problem in particular with leadership.

    I am not dismissing that sexual harassment may have taken place, but from the context from the audio given, it doesn’t appear anyone speaking knows about it.

      Same thoughts here, I was hoping it’d be some slam dunk evidence to support the stuff we’ve heard but if anything it just makes the waters even murkier. There’s a 3rd party HR firm involved that she could have gone to? She said only Linuses wife was the HR there.

          They did say they would post it “on general chat” to make everyone aware of it…

        Probably that Linus’ wife managed the relationship with the 3rd party HR. It could be that the 3rd party HR were mainly used for payroll and tax purposes. If they had limited scope, then likely they were not functioning as a real HR department
