NY Knicks sexual harrassment lawsuit settled for $11.6 million

Anucha Browne Sanders, a 44-year-old former Northwestern University basketball star, says she was dismissed in 2005 because she dared to accuse head coach of the NY Knicks, Isiah Thomas of routinely using vulgar language in his first year and of later making unwanted sexual advances toward her. She sought reinstatement to a job as vice president of marketing, which paid as much as $260,000 annually.

In the end, the sexual harrassment lawsuit setted for $11.6 million.

Is this fair a fair settlement? Or overdone? Would you allow someone to harrass you for $11.6 million??

I think sexual harassment has long term effects on a person. I think we will never know what really happened there and how her life changed after the harassment. I think her life changed for the bad she was a victim. Is it fair?  Can you  put a price on such a thing.  Like the judge ruled there was something wrong there although it seems like she black mailed but we never know what were her options. If he was willing to pay so much for a month then 11 million is something he could handle. I would never let anyone harass me for any amount what so ever. I think the effects after an harassment are a lot more worst. Is it really harassment if you

let someone do it?
