“Somebody trying to hold your hand during a business lunch is strange — or putting their hand on your knee is a little strange. He was always touching you in some way, and always kissing you.”
One woman said she gave in to Domingo’s advances and had sex with him, fearing that rejecting the most powerful man in opera would jeopardize her career. She claimed that after one of their encounters, Domingo left for a performance, put $10 on the dresser and said, “I don’t want you to feel like a prostitute, but I also don’t want you to have to pay to park.”
Only one of the nine women, Patricia Wulf, the retired mezzo-soprano, allowed her name to be used in the story, as the other accusers — many of whom still work in the industry — feared retaliation or public humiliation and harassment. Wulf claimed that Domingo would frequently wait in the wings for her and, after she came off stage, ask her, “Patricia, do you have to go home tonight?”
“Absolutely and most certainly, that was sexual harassment,” Wulf said. “When a man steps that close to you and with a wry smile asks if I have to go home — repeatedly — I can come up with no other conclusion than him wanting to bed me. Especially given his reputation for that.”issued a statement“LA Opera will engage outside counsel to investigate the concerning allegations about Placido Domingo,” the statement read.
What was called 'being pestered' now called 'sexual harrassment'. Placido Domingo caught in crosshairs of relativism of the times; what was put up with in the past by women won't cut it in the present day.
Yet, Trump is our president
CocoaINTP I think I’d wait to pass judgment on someone who is such a master in his field. I’ve always heard he was a big flirt, yes, but I know many, many people who have always said he was a decent man—courteous, kind, and willing to go to bat for someone he believed could make it big.
I always thought “placido domingo” was some sort of evil nickname.
Not so placido after all
They’re all coming out of the woodwork. Yuck.
Sad to hear this news. He believes it was consensual. Will see what the investigation turns up.
goliveros Pfffff quién iba a imaginárselo siquiera. Pues adelante, que se haga justicia.
Big deal....not nearly as many accusations as our so-called president. Why is Drump still there?
Nothing surprises me these days.... SADLY!!!!
I also heard it was men accusing him
