Skalde has said that she was allegedly touched inappropriately by Donatelli when the two were alone, and again in the backseat of a ride share while her husband, Jarrod, was sitting in the front. “The team’s handling of the incident, included Jarrod being told to keep quiet by organization management, Erin being called a liar and never being interviewed as part of the team’s investigation, along with Jarrod being fired from the organization,” the law firm of Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, said in a statement.
As well, a full investigation was reportedly conducted within 72 hours, which led to Donatelli’s resignation. The Penguins also claim that Jarrod Skalde was eventually dismissed because of “staff reductions” that were “due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”Article content Or that the news conference and civil lawsuit both came out at a time when the NHL has its hands full with cleaning up the mess in Chicago.
