The congressional office of Rep. Blake Farenthold was an out-of-control mess where the Texan alternately bullied staffers and told them about his ‘sexual fantasies,’ according to a report.
Farenthold and his entire staff got sensitivity training after incidents of ‘sexualized commentary,’ the Houston Chronicle reported.
A former communications aide, Lauren Greene, got an $84,000 payment after accusing her boss of sexual harassment.
Her lawsuit says Farenthold, 55, had ‘sexual fantasies’ and ‘wet dreams’ about her. Another former spokeswoman, Elizabeth Peace, a former TV anchor, said the lawmaker ‘allowed the hostility in his office to continue. He allowed us to work in a place that was just emotionally damaging, and that should never be allowed in any office.’
Another of Greene’s complaints is that Farenthold ‘disclosed that a female lobbyist had propositioned him for “a threesome,”‘ the New York Times reported.
‘I’ve done nothing wrong,” Farenthold told the paper this week. “I’m happy to visit with anybody who has a concern and explain the facts to the extent that I am allowed to under the settlement agreement.”
Former aides also say Farenthold had a volatile temper.
