Women's Financial Football Agents At Ngadu's Football Dispropriately Not Sopany, Chelsea Fires The Commercial Director Who Just Holds 2 Weeks
JAKARTA - Chelsea has sacked their commercial director, Damian Willoughby, amid claims of sexual harassment and indecent messages. In fact, Willoughby has only been appointed for two weeks.
The Blues confirmed Damian Willoughby's dismissal after a woman named Catalina Kim provided "inappropriate proof of the message".
The Telegraph said Kim showed a Willoughby message asking if he was naked and introducing sex as a subject.
In addition, he also posted videos that were allegedly sexually explicit.
Willoughby also said he would arrange a meeting between Kim and Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano if he agreed to do "naughty".
Chelsea sacked Willoughby after Kim informed club business president Tom Glick of his behavior since before he was appointed senior executive in early September.
The Blues told the Telegraph, "Chelsea Football Club confirms that they have stopped the work of Commercial Director Damian Willoughby immediately."
"The inappropriate evidence sent by Mr. Willoughby, before his appointment at Chelsea FC earlier this month, has been received and investigated by the club."
"This behavior is completely against the company's workplace environment and culture built by the club's new holdings," the statement continued.
Kim is the chief executive of the C&P Sports Group and has struck a multi-million pound deal between European giants like Man City and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Telegraph stated that it had seen Kim's text exchange with Willoughby. It is known, the football financial agent has repeatedly refused and reminded the Chelsea official that he is married.
Kim previously told The Telegraph, "I can confirm that it filed a complaint with Tom Glick about Damian Willoughby's behavior for two years, including his phone call that threatened me recently."
"I firmly believe this is not a corporate work environment and culture that any Premier League club will tolerate."
Willoughby's lawyer declined to comment, The Telegraph reported.
