Who would bang trout lips Michael Wolff? The hypocritical widely panned for factual f-ups Rupert Murdoch tome author who gets off big time on married Rupe's courting of now-wife Wendi Deng had his own dick where it didn't belong.City File: The married, 55-year-old author carried on a lengthy affair with a 28-year-old writer, helped her land a job at Vanity Fair, and eventually hired her to work on his website Newser.com. According to our sources, the woman in question, Victoria Floethe, was introduced to the Vanity Fair columnist by a friend of Wolff's, a writer who happened to be having an affair with Floethe himself at the time. This man, who is also married and who we'll call "Mark," had originally reached out to Wolff to see if he might be help Floethe find a job. Wolff certainly helped Floethe land a job—she joined Vanity Fair's research department—although much to Mark's chagrin, Wolff soon started dating Floethe himself. (Contacted by phone, Mark declined to comment, refusing to confirm or deny the story on the events in question.)Just how much anyone at Vanity Fair knew about Wolff's relationship with Floethe is unclear.
I think the answer to your question is an "ambitious" young woman who apparently isn't confident enough to get ahead in her career without spreading her legs.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask... what do people in the profession really think of women and men like this? Those that use sex to succeed (using that term loosely), I mean.
Amy sez, "I have to ask... what do people in the profession really think of women and men like this?"
ReplyDeleteMy guess is they think they are what they really are. Whores.
I agree with Amy. And Tim. Okay, somebody answer Amy's question: what do you think of men and women who barter sexual favors for jobs?
ReplyDeleteHookers and Pimps happen to come to mind. We have already established the profession, all that remains is negotiating the price.
ReplyDeleteI think such people are victims of society and deserve a large helping of bailout money. And a hug.
ReplyDeleteThe price is the job they get, or the boost into the profession is it not? Hmmm... does that mean it's legal prostitution?
ReplyDeleteI find it all pretty disgusting myself. :)
All of us use our sexuality to some extent in order to get ahead. We all also carry our own desires with us into our work environment (or anywhere else, for that matter). It's when we don't clearly define where our line is drawn that we risk crossing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd The Eliot Spitzer Award goes to....
ReplyDeleteThere's a major difference between trying to get ahead and trying to get some head.
