Less than a week after Manhattan jury found former US president Donald Trump guilty of sexual harassment and slander (although acquitted on the rape count), a civil lawsuit filed a few blocks away against Trump’s former lawyer, a 78-year-old lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Businesswoman and publicist Noel Dunphy, who worked for Giuliani from January 2019 to January 2021, made public her claims against him back in January, and has now officially filed a 70-page lawsuit in the Manhattan Supreme Court, in which she accuses her former employer of that he allegedly forced her to have sexual intercourse and did not pay her the money he earned in the amount of almost $2 million.
Trump, who is now filing an appeal, was ordered to pay his plaintiff $5 million, while Dunphy wants to recover twice as much from Giuliani.
Kommersant.Ru, 05/16/2023, “Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused of sexual harassment”: Noel Dunphy, 43, accuses Mr Giuliani, 79, of sexual harassment, cheating on salary promises and demanding $10 million in damages. […]
According to her, the former mayor of New York began to harass her almost immediately and was able to force her to have sex. In addition, he repeatedly allowed himself “offensive statements of a racist, anti-Semitic and sexist nature while intoxicated.” After Noel Dunphy decided to seek help from law enforcement, Rudy Giuliani, according to her, began to threaten her.
Giuliani himself does not comment on these accusations. His attorney, Ted Goodman, stated that “Mayor Giuliani’s entire public career speaks for itself. He will use all possible measures and countermeasures to protect himself.” — Inset K.ru
For a long time, Giuliani was remarkably popular in New York, where, as head of the Manhattan federal prosecutor’s office, he practically broke the back of the local Italian mafia, and then was elected mayor and made New York the safest of the big cities in the United States. The terrorist attacks of 2001, which came at the end of his reign, brought him the glory of a hero and the honorary title of “Mayor of America”.
Proximity to Trump and Giuliani’s desperate attempts to prove that the 2020 presidential election was rigged turned half the country against him, led to an FBI search, the loss of a lawyer’s license, while temporary, and the loss of the said title.
In the image of Noel Dunphy, the former “Mayor of America” appears as a drunkard and womanizer, eating Viagra and constantly cheating. Skip the Podcast and continue reading.
He hired the plaintiff as a business development manager and his assistant secretary and gave her a million dollars a year plus expenses, but she was not officially listed anywhere and did not receive a salary. Giuliani, according to her, explained that he was divorcing his wife and had to hide his cash flows from her and her lawyers, otherwise they would rip him off like sticky. But as soon as, so soon…
The media now instantly found out that in fact he divorced back in December 2019, but he never began to pay the plaintiff’s salary. According to her, sometimes Giuliani threw money at her in black cash and in total paid 12 thousand dollars in this way for two years. According to Dunphy, he owed her $1,988,000.
The most sensational revelation made by the plaintiff is that Giuliani was allegedly trying to sell Trump’s presidential pardons at $2 million each. Tried, never sold, and there are no concrete examples in the lawsuit, but the mere mention of such antics inspired a heated debate among talking heads that reminded pique vests of Russiagate’s heroic days.
Trump’s critics hope that the plaintiff will extract from her bins the recordings of Giuliani’s revelations on this matter. The fact is that the experienced prosecutor, without thinking twice, allowed his new assistant to record their conversations and sometimes he even helpfully pressed the red record button, so that all the records are completely legal.
Under the aforementioned pretext – that he was getting a divorce – Giuliani never officially hired Dunphy. The plaintiff says that, nevertheless, she continued to work not out of fear, but out of conscience, and along the way, she did not want to provide sexual services to the owner.
Dunphy did all this not only in the expectation that sooner or later she would still be paid off, but also because Giuliani volunteered to represent her free of charge in court, where Dunphy’s lawsuit with her former cohabitant was considered.
Noel Dunphy accused him of raping her and pushing her down the stairs. The man claimed that it was the plaintiff who beat him and tyrannized him, and filed a counterclaim against her for the protection of honor and dignity, stating that she was blackmailing him.
In 2016, Dunphy went to the world in exchange for 10 thousand dollars. But at the moment when she accidentally met Giuliani in the foyer of one of Trump’s skyscrapers, the lawsuit with her former roommate was still ongoing.
Giuliani’s defense could take advantage of this circumstance to portray the plaintiff as a serial litigator.
The temptation to have such a famous lawyer as Giuliani on her side for free was obviously irresistible, and the woman continued to provide him with sexual services.
According to her, they began with oral intercourse in one of their first meetings, when Dunphy, who lived at that moment in Florida, agreed to spend the night in the guest half of Giuliani’s Manhattan apartments and abused red wine at his insistence.
According to the plaintiff, during oral sex, Giuliani liked to talk on the phone (once with Trump himself), explaining that he wanted to be, “like Bill Clinton“whose fling with a White House intern Monica Lewinsky still fresh in the memory of the old-timers.
Due to Covid, work has moved remotely, and Dunphy writes to the court that during video calls, Giuliani often asked her to undress. He got into the habit of calling the plaintiff his daughter during sexual intercourse, which, according to her, made her extremely uncomfortable.
Strana.ua, 05/16/2023, “He forced me to walk naked at work. An employee accused the former mayor of New York Giuliani of sexual violence”: Noel Dunphy, 43, said in a 70-page complaint: “He frequently demanded oral sex while speaking on speakerphone to high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump.” Giuliani told Dunphy that he enjoys doing it on the phone because it can “feel like Bill Clinton.” According to her, Giuliani “often demanded that she work naked, in a bikini or mini-shorts with an American flag, which he bought her.”
The complaint says: “He drank morning, afternoon and night.” Dunphy claims Giuliani was “constantly taking Viagra” and that she “worked in constant fear that he might demand sex at any moment.” Rudy Giuliani’s spokesman said the allegations against him are an extortion attempt. — Inset K.ru
Because the Plaintiff has a large collection of audio files, the Complaint contains selected statements from the Defendant that portray him in a bad light. Here are some examples.
“Giuliani told Ms. Dunphy that ‘black men’ beat women more than anyone… It’s the same with Hispanics – it’s in their culture.”
“Giuliani claimed that the (replaced) mayor (of New York) Michael Bloomberg “turned gay” because his wife left him.
“Giuliani addressed Arabs and Jews.”
“Giuliani ridiculed and sexualized Hillary Clinton and mocked her body.”
The idea, perhaps, is to incite in advance against the former mayor of New York jurors of all the indicated categories.
Giuliani himself categorically rejects all of the plaintiff’s allegations.
