A former Bay Area tech CEO was fired earlier this year after allegedly enslaving, torturing, and sexually abusing his assistant. He claims the pair had a consensual relationship that people would “celebrate” if it were fictitious.

Former Tradeshift CEO Christian Lanng denied the allegations levied against him and the billion-dollar company he co-founded that were made by a former employee in court Thursday.

"The shocking and vile claims in the lawsuit are categorically false, and I reject allegations that I subjected someone to any form of abuse during my tenure as CEO or at any other time of my life,” Lanng told The Messenger.

In the complaint, an unidentified woman alleged that Lanng sent her into “a dark abyss of unwanted sexual horror," according to The Mercury News.

    Okay, believe whatever you want. Me literally saying we shouldn’t shame them I guess is me shaming them.

    Have a nice day, I’m going to ignore you because I’m tired of your insults.

      It was a pretty funny take. I’m not saying I agree or not with you, but you were pretty clear, and they simply didn’t care about your words, they just wanted to get on a hate train. 🤷
