I believe him that he did nothing wrong ... and he did make the point that there was never a "settlement" that is a legal term after a lawsuit, but before a jury decision. there was never a lawsuit in any of the cases. And seriously, look at where these people work and who they are associated with. The latest woman after 14 years is accusing him of "criminal acts" but never even so much as discussed it with the police or anyone else.
They should be demanding she give a lie detector test so making such claims now.
As for the others ... being in the corporate world, anyone can make allegations, and it is becoming far too common. What you refer to as settlements were simply following the investigations that no wrong doing was found, they offered a severance package as part of the employee agreeing to leave the company. She could have stayed, but typically there is a money motivation and that is what they want.
I am sure a comment may have triggered the claim to their HR dept, but executives are always targets since they know most companies do not want press about such things, even if they know it is false. It is a problem with our legal system and why loser pays to file a suit would help eliminate many lawsuits.
But Herman is being raked over the coals for what seems like silly claims and a couple of severance packages following an investigation. If the employee really felt the act was harrassment and could prove it, (which obviously they could not if the investigations all cleared him of wrong doing), then filing a suit would have yeilded them much greater dollars.
It appears to me these were silly claims that there were no witnesses, and they took a small severance and left.
As for the confidentiality, any severance package has that to avoid the employee telling everyone the money they got which may encourage more false accusations.
