A woman shared her story online after her husband was accused of harassment at the workplace.
Here is what she said:
My husband told me 2 women at his workplace have accused him of sexual harassment and he needs my support.
My husband denied everything and said he was being set up. He said the 2 women tried to seduce him, and wanted to take revenge for being skipped from the last promotion exercise. We had some other issues all along but I don’t have any inkling that he would do such a thing. I’m thinking that I should support him but at the same time I find it may also be true. I don’t know how to digest this news. Being a victim of a similar situation during my younger days, I don’t believe a woman would lie about this and I feel quite triggered to hear this.
How can I find out if this is true or not? I think if this were really true I would be so devastated that he could do such a thing.
Here are what netizens think:
- I’ll talk to the two women to assess what they are saying and review any evidences they may have. (Like inappropriate messages etc) anyway HR will launch an investigation as well. I find it far fetched ppl will accuse someone of this over a promotion, but hey who knows right?  actually both their versions could be true.It could be that he promised them promotion, took sexual advantage of them and went back on his words. Hence they are upset now and reported sexual harassment. Anyhow I wouldn’t blindly support him just cos he’s my husband.
- Not one but two.. that’s quite telling.Support does not mean denial .. it means to forgive.
- The truth could really be either way but I think let the HR investigate if it’s a formal case.Everyone usually will side the accusers but I have seen an ex-boss at work face sexual harassment accusations from colleagues that turned out to be false. A lot of these reports happen because employees are unhappy with their colleagues or bosses and its easy to throw such accusations now that cancel culture and equality are such a big thing.
