Inside the allegation that Bloomberg told a pregnant employee to 'kill it':
"I never said it. Period, end of story. Categorically, never said it," Bloomberg said Tuesday."When I was accused of doing it we couldn't figure out what she was talking about."Sources have confirmed to ABC News that Sakai is one of three former employees whom Bloomberg's company has identified as having been restricted by afrom speaking about her claims of inappropriate comments by Bloomberg. But Bloomberg agreed to lift those restrictions in a recent turnabout.
Sakai said she alerted"ten people within the firm, five of whom were managers," according to the complaint filed with the New York Division of Human Rights, which she filed before her lawsuit. She told friends about the alleged interaction and described her mental and physical deterioration as a result of stress.
"The words which were spoken to me by the CEO of my company on April 11, 1995 should never be heard by an expectant mother awaiting the birth of her first child," Sakai wrote in an undated letter addressed to Rep. Sue Kelly, R-N.Y."I understand you are a strong advocate of women's issues and worker rights. I ask for your assistance to monitor my dispute in a timely and constructive manner.
Sakai replied,"That's how I feel … said some really demeaning humiliating things to me, but that was me, not my unborn child."
