Im going to have a hard time thinking her Ea is a credible witness.

Earlier she asked Conrad Black if he’d sleep with her, she said she was joking.
Maybe Steve knew of this and was joking in the same way?
Or he was drunk and made an ass of himself like 95% of guys have done at some time?
Either way, he handled the email well by passing it along to his TVO bosses immediately.

I don't know what to think.

Assuming she's being truthful she said she had the backing of John Tory and Sorbara in the past. That's a couple of solid names and gives her some credibility, albeit their support might be supporting her stance, not necessarily them knowing if she was truthful.

Then you have the fact that Paikin, who comes across as fairly intelligent, likely wouldn't be stupid enough to overtly request sex in exchange for an appearance on his show, especially with a witness.

Then there's the fact that the EA, as other's point out, is not a reliable witness. Might as well say the witness is her mom.

Sadly, as other's pointed out, she's not the most attractive so unless she magically fits his type, would he proposition her? I don't know.

Let's see if other women come forward. Pattern generally proves guilt.

Given their public personae, Ima gonna out on a limb and say this is prob what happened. He probably made light of her remark about sleeping with CB and she's held this grudge against him for 8 YEARS! Waiting for the right moment to exact revenge.

THe sad thing is that she will have done more harm to the #metoo movement with false allegations (if false), but what-da-hell, she got revenge, right?
And that the most important thing! :frusty::doh:

Good point - she exposed Rob Ford when it happened. Why a delay with Paikin?

Sarah Thomson is a well known fucking nutbar.
Yup.

Reading between the lines in the statement that TVO issued today -- the one that said Paikin would remain on air while this investigated -- it's pretty clear the TVO bigwigs don't believe her.

I hope he is found innocent and cleared. Then launches a massive defamation lawsuit to crush this batshit ST.

This came out today. Very interesting read and if this metoo bullshit continues fewer men will want these type of women who can be difficult and/or demanding. These type of women are trying to castrate the mating dance. What is so wrong about being direct with your desires like Paikin was? All he said was from what I heard "Would you sleep with me?" That's pretty inocuos in my book. All these metoo women need to be sent to southern america or southern Europe to see what men that are really aggressive can be like this is getting too stupid. And what's going to happen is this women will end up alone or with weak men that they can trample all over.

If it is a correct description of the lunch, he needs to be fired.
Well, maybe you might want to read this article for a perspective.

She asks Conrad Black to sleep with her in exchange for an interview but when she says it, it's a joke? really? Double standard ?

It's women like Sarah Thompson that will ruin it for all the others that were truly assaulted, as opposed to the stories that come out of the likes of Sarah Thompson, just to get attention.

Another liar trying to make money at the expense of ending someone else's life/career.

And she's the sexual aggressor basically asking men to sleep with her to get interviews.

Sad times.

Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to false accusations.
