Rudy Giuliani Sidesteps Recent Sexual Assault Accusations in First Appearance Post-Lawsuit
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor, recently appeared on his show "America's Mayor Live," noticeably sidestepping fresh sexual assault and harassment allegations lodged against him in a lawsuit earlier this week, as discovered by RadarOnline.com.
The former mayoral staffer, Noelle Dunphy, accused Giuliani of sexual assault, harassment, wage theft, and additional misconduct in a comprehensive 70-page lawsuit. Despite the gravity of these accusations, Giuliani dedicated his Monday night broadcast to discussing investigations into Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the recent arrest of ex-Marine Danny Penny over the purported killing of Jordan Neely in the NYC subway.
In his first public appearance since the lawsuit's filing, Giuliani highlighted his tenure as NYC's mayor during the 90s, emphasizing his work in crime reduction and city cleanup. "We didn’t let people get robbed, we didn’t let them get mugged or raped,” he stated, according to Mediaite. He further boasted about his role in eliminating "unbelievably disgusting pornography houses" from Times Square.
As per RadarOnline.com's report, Dunphy's lawsuit alleges that Giuliani exploited his power and subjected her to demeaning treatment during her employment from 2019 to 2021. The former staffer claimed that she was coerced into performing sexual acts as part of her job duties and that these acts often took place during significant phone calls.
The lawsuit alleges: "He often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speakerphone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump.” Giuliani allegedly told Dunphy that he relished such acts during phone conversations as they made him "feel like Bill Clinton."
The complaint further alleges that Giuliani frequently insisted Dunphy "work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her.”
While Giuliani refrained from responding to Dunphy's latest lawsuit during his Monday show, his legal team had previously denounced all allegations in the lawsuit as "frivolous," vehemently denying the accusations. As the case develops, it remains to be seen how the former mayor and his legal team will address these serious allegations.
