More on Bob Stokes's departure?
« on: May 03, 2008, 01:50:19 AM »
On one of my YouTube videos:



There's a user who claims that there is more than meets the eye on Bob Stokes's sudden departure this past winter. I wonder what that's all about.

Apparently there is...

I got this from Nick at TWC Classics (who in turn got his information from the Kaptured forums)...

Bob Stokes was fired for sexual harassment. Apparently Bob had harassed an unnamed female OCM and Hillary Andrews over the course of a few years, according to court documents. Hillary Andrews left TWC on September 1, 2006 after her three-year contract had expired and was not renewed. Bob Stokes was fired on February 1, 2008.

Attached are two documents.

He got fired? Well i see that's good for what he did but I would never know an OCM would do this.

That's something.  And Mike, you need Adobe Reader to read the litigation papers that birthday boy posted.

You need to tell Firefox to open it. Your telling it to open (null). When the download box pops up you need to manually tell it to use Adobe to open the file.

Wow, I can't believe what I just read. To think I've always respected Bob Stokes.

It looks like someone else has recently sued TWC for sex discrimination, as well. Lots of legal fun for TWC management going on.

It goes to show you that everything can be peachy on camera, but can be another story off camera. I would have never imagined Bob Stokes doing something like that, but it would explain why Hillary messed up so much on camera when they were working together.
