Another woman has come forward with harassment allegations against Mayor Filthy Filner. This is the ninth, but it's sort of the tenth if you count the deputy Mayor of Escondido, Olga Diaz. Emily Gilbert, who was hired to sing at a fundraiser, described her experience to Fox5 San Diego.
UPDATED: Gilbert works as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator.
This scandal has so many levels. First, his conduct has been well known among his democratic colleagues for years, and they've turned a blind eye for the sake of maintaining power. Second, when caught, Filthy tried to have San Diego tax payers pay for his legal fees as being part of his job. Third, he's now claiming that it's all the City of San Diego's fault for not having forced him to take sexual harassment training classes.
"He grabbed me a little too tight, then proceeded to slide his hand down my arm and then did a little grab on my derriere," Gilbert said. "I didn’t want to make a scene there were kids around."
Classy. Grab ass in front of the kids.
Gilbert said the encounter "embarrassed" her. Her husband, Jason Gilbert, stated "What was I going to do, he’s the mayor."
Well, that one may be justified, he's clearly doing it all wrong.
