A former music manager has accused Ahmet Ertegun, the late co-founder and longtime chief executive of Atlantic Records, of sexually assaulting her multiple times spanning decades, and she alleges that the record company covered it up.
Roeg alleged in a 28-page complaint that during her decades-long working relationship with Atlantic Records, Ertegun groped her, masturbated in front of her and attempted to physically force her to perform oral sex on him while riding in a car together. She said the record company was aware of other instances of alleged sexual assault and harassment at the hands of the former executive, yet failed to act and protect Roeg and other women.“As Ms.
“These allegations date back nearly 40 years, to before WMG was a standalone company,” the music company told The Times through a spokesperson. “We are speaking with people who were there at the time, taking into consideration that many key individuals are deceased or into their 80s and 90s. To ensure a safe, equitable, and inclusive working environment, we have a comprehensive Code of Conduct, and mandatory workplace training, to which all of our employees must adhere.
During the meeting, while listening to McCloud’s music, one of Roeg’s contact lenses fell to the ground. While trying to retrieve the contact on the floor, Ertegun allegedly walked up behind her and reached his hand up her skirt, the lawsuit said. Roeg yelled and scooted away from Ertegun, who then commented on her legs, the suit said.He changed the face of pop music
Sometime soon after, Ertegun asked to meet Roeg again, this time for dinner with two other Atlantic executives. After dinner, the two stopped at Ertegun’s apartment on their way to a club. While there, Ertegun allegedly placed his hand on Roeg’s knee, which Roeg moved aside, court documents said. She went to use the bathroom and returned to Ertegun masturbating in front of her, the suit alleges.
