Casino Mogul Steve Wynn Steps Down as RNC Chair Amidst Horrific Sexual Assault Claims
asino mogul Steve Wynn has been having a very difficult couple of days. On Friday, the Wall Street Journal published dozens of allegations of sexual misconduct against the renowned Las Vegas billionaire, many of them spanning decades. According to the Journal, Wynn had a pattern of sexually harassing or abusing the women who worked under him.
The details are eyebrow-raising.
Wynn was known to routinely walk around his apartment in very short shorts with no underwear, and to position himself in such a way that his genitals were visible whenever he was being given a pedicure.
To one employee, he asked, “So when are you going to come into my office and f–k me?” This was in addition to routinely deploying his assistant to find the phone numbers of the cocktail waitresses that worked in his casinos.
Marital status was apparently not a deterrent to Wynn either.
The Journal’s reporters even uncovered a $7.5 million payment to a manicurist who accused Wynn of forcing himself upon her in 2005.
“Everybody was petrified,” Jorgen Nielsen, a former artistic director at the salon, said. Women would even schedule fake appointments to keep from dealing with the mogul.
