Head of major liberal PR firm that worked with likes of Wikileaks and Chelsea Manning shuts down business after ‘avalanche’ of sexual harassment claims from female workers

The head of a major PR firm has shut down his business after ‘an avalanche’ of sexual harassment claims from female workers.

Married father-of-three Trevor FitzGibbon, president of FitzGibbon Media, allegedly asked an interviewee if she was open ‘to having any fun’ and asked her to send him risque photographs of herself.

She refused and after speaking out, several other women at the company came forward claiming that they too had experienced sexual harassment but had stayed quiet in fear of losing their jobs.

They clubbed together and last night FitzGibbon shut down his company – plunging his entire staff into redundancy – saying that ‘an irreconcilable difference’ had emerged between him and his employees.

FitzGibbon Media is a liberal PR firm and has represented causes such as Wikileaks, Chelsea Manning, Amnesty International and The Guardian newspaper. For the full article click here
