The best bit is her whinging. Its laughable. Here is the story in full technicolor
City Exec Loses £4m Sex Discrimination Case
© Sky News 2010, 15:18, Monday 3 May 2010 A City executive who alleged her former boss brought prostitutes to business meetings has lost her £4m sex discrimination case.
Jordan Wimmer, 29, was found not to be a "persuasive witness" from her testimony to the central London employment tribunal.She had her claims for sex discrimination, disability discrimination, unfair constructive dismissal and an unauthorised deduction from her wages dismissed.Ms Wimmer, a former employee of hedge fund Nomos Capital, accused her ex-boss Mark Lowe of bringing escorts to business meetings and discussing his sexual fantasies with her.She told the tribunal she had felt uncomfortable when Mr Lowe brought an "unsavoury person" to a business event at the Hong Kong Yacht Club."Whatever's going on in his personal life is fine but to bring her into the business arena and associate her with me is degrading because that is something that would rub off on me," she said."It's so degrading for me to have to stand in a pinstripe suit next to somebody in Dior hot pants that don't cover her buttocks when she is standing there in stilettos with her breasts pushed out."However, Mr Lowe's barrister said the woman, named only as Ling, was in fact a Malaysian banker and Mr Lowe's girlfriend.The Nomos Capital founder was also alleged to have made blonde jokes that were directed at Ms Wimmer.Mr Lowe admitted he had referred to Ms Wimmer as "decorative" and a "dumb blonde", but added: "It was said entirely as a joke, it was never intended as an insult."In its ruling, the tribunal said Ms Wimmer "would have us believe that she had to push down the feelings of disgust and self-loathing" stemming from Mr Lowe's alleged sexual harassment.It noted that she claimed it was only during a period of depression that she realised how much his "disgusting and demeaning" comments had hurt her.The tribunal's judgement concluded: "Her dramatic account is simply not corroborated by the overwhelming totality of the contemporaneous documents... and the attempts made by the claimant (Ms Wimmer) during the course of the hearing to corroborate her claims of sexual harassment... put bluntly, backfired."Ms Wimmer joined Nomos Capital in 2004 and saw her salary rise from £50,000 to £577,000 by the time she was sacked in February 2009.
