He denied making that comment under oath, but he reached a settlement with the woman. Bloomberg was asked about reports of his past comments at the debate, and he defended what he said as instances where women “didn’t like a joke I told.
In campaign appearances, Warren continued to criticize Bloomberg for not releasing women from the NDAs. In his statement, Bloomberg said that he has asked the human resources team at his company to “consult with experts, as I myself have done in recent days, and review and reform our policies where necessary with regard to equal pay and promotion, sexual harassment and discrimination, and other legal tools that prevent culture change.”
He also outlined a series of steps he planned to take if he is elected president, including supporting the Be Heard Act, anti-sexual harassment legislation that was introduced in Congress last year. More than a dozen states have limited companies use of non-disclosure agreements, according to the National Women’s Law Center.
