Executive Fired for Philandering
» Heterogeneous
Call it fooling around or heartless philandering executives are being fired for their love life even if it doesn’t involve company employees. WellPoint’s David Colby being the latest. Evidently he wasn’t a very likeable lover.
One woman says Colby got her pregnant and harangued her via text message (“ABORT!!”) to terminate the pregnancy. He also allegedly gave some of his girlfriends sexually transmitted diseases, and proposed to at least 12 women since 2005.
One unhappy woman took him to court but U.S. District Judge Gary Klausner wasn’t impressed:
“Although Colby’s conduct may be ungallant, it simply does not rise to the level of being ‘utterly intolerable in a civilized community,”’ Klausner wrote, referring to Waugh’s claim of emotional distress.
