Suzie Hardy was a single mother with a preschool-age daughter when she landed a job as Ryan Seacrest's personal stylist for "E! News" in 2007. The position provided good pay and a schedule that would allow her to pick up her child from school most work days.
But according to a November letter Hardy's attorney addressed to Cable Channel E!, its corporate parent NBCUniversal, and Seacrest, the job became an ordeal as Seacrest subjected Hardy to years of unwanted sexual aggression - grinding his erect penis against her while clad only in his underwear, groping her vagina, and at some point slapping her buttock so hard that it left a large welt still visible hours after.
Hardy claimed that she endured the abuse for years out of concern over being able to provide for her daughter, and that the situation only ended in 2013, when , after reporting Seacrest's actions to human-resources executives, her employment ended.
