No charges have been laid and the allegations have not been proven in court. An answer to the complaint has not been filed. In the complaint, Doe is described as a “high performer” and “high-potential employee” who was rewarded with “promotion after promotion” during her time at the company. Later, she alleges he invited her to a dinner she assumed would be a business occasion because she says he had been meeting with other senior leaders that the company.

Court records claim that soon after, she reported the incident to then-chief executive John Chen, who she says was supportive and agreed she did not have to travel alone with Giamatteo. In early 2023, the complainant says she reported his conduct to human resources, which tried to create more separation between her role and Giamatteo's.
